- Solubility of liquids, solids and gases
- Activity coefficients, two-phase partitioning (e.g. LogP), liquid extraction
- Conformer relevance in different mixtures
- Phase behavior: liquid-liquid, liquid-vapor and liquid-solid equilibria
- Vapor pressures, free energy of solvation, Henry's law constant
- pKa, dependence of chemical reaction equilibria on the solvent
- Energy of transfer to a flat liquid-liquid interface
- Micelle and membrane partitioning
- Interfacial tension, adsorption and environmental properties
BIOVIA COSMOtherm features an easy to use graphical interface to allow users to focus more on research and less on the software. In addition, the completely input file-oriented command line version allows seamless integration into existing workflows or batch processing. The greatest advantages of BIOVIA COSMOtherm are its general applicability and its high predictivity. Once integrated into the workflow, it can be applied to almost the complete range of organic chemistry without needing a scientist to think about missing parameters or applicability for a specific case.
- No missing parameters as in force-field simulations, UNIFAC or equations of state
- No case-specific choices of any kind
- Predictivity far beyond fitting sets
- Multifunctional and complex compounds are welcome
- Results within seconds or minutes
- (a time-consuming DFT calculation has to be conducted for each molecule once, the results are then stored and can be reused for all properties and mixtures later on)
- Limited to incompressible liquids, sufficiently below the critical point
- Gas phase chemical potential is only valid for ideal gases
- Polymers can only be predicted as solvents for small molecules
- Long-range interactions of ions are missing (e. g. Debye-Hückel term)
