Did you know that Digichem renders densities too? Total electron densities, spin densities, and of course orbital densities are all included automatically. Check out some that we've prepared earlier here: digi-chem.co.uk/publication-...

Hey look, it's xTB, now on Digicloud! Developed by the github.com/grimme-lab, xTB is a semi-empirical method for (very!) rapid geometries and properties. You can even calculate a frankly irresponsible number of excited states with sTDA. Check it out! digi-chem.co.uk/get-started-...

When is a geometry optimisation actually done? Here's a scientist with another hot take: it depends! Read about how we're investigating this phenomenon with @digichem.bsky.social here: www.linkedin.com/posts/oliver...

Do molecules have a natural orientation? We scientists certainly think so! But convincing a computer is much more complicated. Here's some of the ways we're tackling this problem in @digichem.bsky.social. Read more here: www.linkedin.com/posts/oliver...

Four DFT NMR calculations based on an initial conformer search of Caffeine. Even relatively minor structural changes (just CH3 rotations here) can lead to measurable changes in properties under the right conditions!

Digichem @digichem.bsky.social · 18/02/2026
The latest Digichem release is out now digi-chem.co.uk/get-started-... ! Version 7.4 adds support for conformational searching using the CREST and CENSO engines of the Grimme group, see how it impacts the excited states of the classic OLED emitter 2CzIPN below!

Happy new year all! (We're not late are we?) Anyway to celebrate we've released Digichem 7.3, aka the NMR release! Head to digi-chem.co.uk to start running Digichem NMR simulations using Gaussian, Orca, Turbomole, and PySCF.

6,6-Dibromindigo is an important historical dye that famously could only be harvested from sea snails, making it extremely valuable. Fortunately, synthetic dyes have now largely replaced it, leaving the snails to do important snail things! Calculated with #digichem 7 and #blender

After being blown away by our last entry in this cool molecular series, we're back once again with another propellane! With it's greater blade area, [2.2.2]propellane is a real breath of fresh air, and we're big fans! Rendered with #digichem 7 and #blender.

Out now: Digichem 7.0.3! This minor bugfix version fixes the default rendering engine being set to VMD (even when it wasn't available). The #Blender based Batoms renderer is now correctly set as the default, but of course you can manually change if you like (see attached image).

When scientists talk about molecules 'inspired by nature', this isn't normally what they mean! Named 'Sulflower' for it's resemblance to the plant, rather than being harvested from it, we still couldn't resist taking a closer look! Rendered with #digichem 7 and #blender.

We're big 'fans' of this little molecule! Part of the propellane family, so called because of their resemblance to aircraft propellers, we take a sneak peak at this one's FMOs. Rendered with #digichem 7 and #blender
