Molecules

As described in the workflow, when documenting calculations, each calculation is carried out on an individual geometry that in turn is derived from a molecule. Hence, before creating calculation entries, you will first need to create a molecule and a geometry. This may appear unnecessarily complicated at first, but it tremendously helps with organising your calculations and finding and accessing all relevant information.

Fig. 10 Web-form for creating a new entry for a molecule. In this case, there is only one required field, namely the name that should be a concise and comprehensive description. Additionally, you may optionally enter a batch ID in case you perform calculations on molecules that are physically present in your lab as well and have been measured in one way or other.
