Tasks Performed by Spartan Student Edition for Macintosh:
   
  Energy Determine total energy (Hartree-Fock), heat of formation (semi-empirical) or strain energy (molecular mechanics).
     
  Equilibrium Geometry Determine equilibrium geometry.
     
  Transition State Geometry Determine transition-state geometry.
     
  Calculate and Plot
IR Spectra
Calculate and plot normal-mode vibrational frequencies. Useful not only for calculation of vibrational spectra but also to establish whether or not a geometry corresponds to an energy minimum or to a transition state.
     
  Energy Profile Scan one or more geometrical coordinates. Useful to locate a transition state along a reaction coordinate and to analyze conformational energy changes.
