This page links to the University of Alaska computational chemistry website, where the WebMO program provides access to several quantum chemistry programs including Gaussian, ORCA, MOPAC, and xTB. The WebMO graphical interface allows one to construct molecular models, calculate molecular energies, geometries, and spectral properties, and view the calculation results.

First-time student login:
  Click the graphic at the top-right. Then enter your UA username and password. Do not include the "@alaska.edu" part. After hitting Enter, a drop-down menu will suggest different groups (chem105, general, etc.). Choose the group defined for your class and enter the group password. Click Login. Subsequent logins will take you directly to your Job Manager page.

 Any UA faculty, staff or student may log in. Use your UA credentials as above and choose the General group, leaving the password box empty. Alternatively, you may request a custom username and password from the UAF Chemistry department.

Alternate WebMO server. If the UA WebMO site is down or unreachable, the WebMO, Inc. demo can be used in a pinch for small molecule calculations. It has a 30-sec cpu time limit.
