Rowan helps scientists study molecular and periodic systems with DFT, semiempirical quantum chemistry, and neural network potentials in one modern computational platform.

From catalysts and organometallic systems to molecular materials and periodic models, Rowan helps teams run practical simulation workflows without stitching together a fragile stack of disconnected tools.
Rowan helps materials teams answer questions like:

Study both discrete molecules and extended periodic systems in the same platform, from organometallic complexes and solvated molecules to solid-state and surface models.

Choose the right level of theory for the problem with DFT, semiempirical quantum chemistry, and neural network potentials for screening, mechanistic studies, and large-scale simulation campaigns.

Predict elastic tensors and mechanical moduli for periodic solids, and compute surface energies and equilibrium crystal shapes with Wulff construction.

Compute phonon dispersion and density of states to check dynamical stability, then derive heat capacity, entropy, and free energy directly from the vibrational spectrum.

Inspect structures, orbitals, electronic properties, and computed trajectories directly in the browser, then share results securely with your team.

Automate screening studies, descriptor generation, and simulation workflows with Rowan's Python API.

Rowan has opened new research directions for our group. Comparing collisional cross sections calculated in Rowan versus those measured by ion-mobility mass spectrometry, we can assign structures to mixtures of diastereomers or regioisomers in an MS experiment that takes seconds.
