Software
The Lindsey Lab has released three software programs:
The PhotochemCAD™ program contains modules for performing calculations, multiple databases of absorption and emission spectra for diverse compounds (with a focus on naturally occurring substances) totaling >2000 spectra, a database of solar spectra, and extensive literature references. We developed PhotochemCAD™ for use as a computer-aided research and teaching tool in photochemistry. This not-for-profit effort is aimed at advancing the science of photochemistry.
The PorphyrinViLiGe™ program was developed to simulate combinatorial processes and to enumerate products and isomers in the domain of porphyrins (and other tetrapyrrole macrocycles) via virtual library generation. The program was conceived, developed and tested by Drs. Masahiko Taniguchi, Hai Du, and Jonathan S. Lindsey from Summer 2010 – Summer 2011.
The Cyclaplex™ program was developed to simulate combinatorial processes that give rise to linear and cyclic oligomers. The program is a generalization of PorphyrinViLiGe™ and is applicable to diverse macrocycles derived from modular constituents. The program was conceived, developed and tested by Drs. Masahiko Taniguchi, Hai Du, and Jonathan S. Lindsey from Summer 2012 – Spring 2013.
