  • Description: <jats:p>Dalton is a powerful general‐purpose program system for the study of molecular electronic structure at the <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">H</jats:styled-content>artree–<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">F</jats:styled-content>ock, <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">K</jats:styled-content>ohn–<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">S</jats:styled-content>ham, multiconfigurational self‐consistent‐field, <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">M</jats:styled-content>øller–<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">P</jats:styled-content>lesset, configuration‐interaction, and coupled‐cluster levels of theory. Apart from the total energy, a wide variety of molecular properties may be calculated using these electronic‐structure models. Molecular gradients and <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">H</jats:styled-content>essians are available for geometry optimizations, molecular dynamics, and vibrational studies, whereas magnetic resonance and optical activity can be studied in a gauge‐origin‐invariant manner. Frequency‐dependent molecular properties can be calculated using linear, quadratic, and cubic response theory. A large number of singlet and triplet perturbation operators are available for the study of one‐, two‐, and three‐photon processes. Environmental effects may be included using various dielectric‐medium and quantum‐mechanics/molecular‐mechanics models. Large molecules may be studied using linear‐scaling and massively parallel algorithms.
