CFOUR

A high-level molecular quantum-chemistry suite centered on coupled-cluster methods, analytic derivatives and accurate spectroscopic properties.

Where it fits

Small-molecule benchmark energetics, vibrational spectroscopy and correlated response properties.

Limits and practical considerations

High-order correlation grows expensive quickly; check supported references and derivatives for each method.
