Abstract:
The Relativistic And Quantum Electronic Theory (RAQET) program is a new software package, which is designed for large-scale two-component relativistic quantum chemical (QC) calculations. The package includes several efficient schemes and algorithms for calculations involving large molecules which contain heavy elements in accurate relativistic formalisms. These calculations can be carried out in terms of the two-component relativistic Hamiltonian, wavefunction theory, density functional theory, core potential scheme, and evaluation of electron repulsion integrals. Furthermore, several techniques, which have frequently been used in non-relativistic QC calculations, have been customized for relativistic calculations. This article introduces the brief theories and capabilities of RAQET with several calculation examples. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Water
The polarity of the water molecule and its resulting hydrogen bonding makes water a unique substance with special properties that are intimately tied to the processes of life. Life originally evolved in an aqueous environment, and most of an organism’s cellular chemistry and metabolism occur inside the aqueous contents of the cell’s cytoplasm. Special properties of water are its high heat capacity...
