KinBot: Automated Reaction Kinetics of Gas-Phase Organic Species over Multiwell Potential Energy SurfacesDescriptionThis repository contains the KinBot code version 2.0,
a tool for automatically searching for reactions on the potential energy surface.If you are using this tool in scientific publications, please reference the following publications:Ruben Van de Vijver, Judit Zádor: KinBot:Automated stationary point search on potential energy surfaces, Comp. Phys. Comm.,2019, 248, 106947.https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cpc.2019.106947Judit Zádor, Carles Martí, Ruben Van de Vijver, Sommer L. Johansen, Yoona Yang, Hope A. Michelsen, Habib N. Najm:Automated reaction kinetics of gas-phase organic species over multiwell potential energy surfaces, J. Phys. Chem. A,2023, 127, 565–588.https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jpca.2c06558We appreciate if you send us the DOI of your published paper that used KinBot, so we can feature it here below.How to InstallKinBot can be installed both in three different ways, from the PyPI index (pip install), from the conda-forge repo (conda install) or by cloning this github repo and then install it locally.PyPIpip install kinbotNoteKinBot only works with Python >= 3.8.conda-forgeconda install -c conda-forge kinbotFrom GithubIf you want to have the very last version of KinBot without waiting for a
release or you want to modify KinBot acccording to your needs you can clone the project
from github:git clone git@github.com:zadorlab/KinBot.gitand then, from within the KinBot directory produced after cloning, type:pip install -e .NoteIf you want to modify KinBot yourself it's better to fork the project
into your own repository and then clone it.How to RunTo run a single-well exploration of KinBot, make an input file (e.g. input.json) and run:kinbot input.jsonTo run a full PES search, make an input file (e.g. input.json) and run:pes input.jsonYou can find additional command line arguments in the manual.DocumentationSeewiki.List of files in this projectSeelist.AuthorsJudit Zádor (jzador@sandia.gov)Ruben Van de Vijver (Ruben.VandeVijver@UGent.be)Amanda DewyerCarles Martí (cmartia@sandia.gov)Papers using KinBotMartí, C., Michelsen, H.
