Description
A plea...
Deanna and I have been running this site since 2008 and lately we're seeing a big increase in
users (and cost) but a decline in percentage of users who donate. Our ad-free and junkware-free
download site only works if everyone chips in to offset the revenue that ads on other sites bring
in. Please donate at the bottom of the page. Every little bit helps. Thank you so much.
Sincerely,
your Older Geeks: Randy and Deanna

Avogadro v2.0.0

👉 Advanced open source molecular editor, visualization, and computational chemistry platform.

Avogadro is a powerful free and open source molecular editor and advanced visualization platform designed for computational chemistry, molecular modeling, materials science, bioinformatics, nanotechnology research, and chemistry education. It combines an intuitive interface with professional-grade tools that allow students, researchers, educators, and scientists to build, analyze, optimize, and render molecular structures in real time.



Avogadro supports everything from simple molecules to large biomolecular systems, crystalline structures, and complex materials simulations. The software includes high-quality 3D rendering, interactive molecular editing tools, force field optimization, scripting support, extensible plugins, and compatibility with a wide variety of computational chemistry packages and scientific file formats.

The program can generate input files and interpret output files for many popular chemistry applications including ORCA, Gaussian, GAMESS, MOPAC, NWChem, and others. Researchers can visualize orbitals, vibrations, surfaces, electrostatic potentials, atomic properties, and molecular interactions using an interactive GPU-accelerated rendering engine.

Avogadro also provides an expandable plugin ecosystem that allows users to install additional tools, file format handlers, commands, and visualization modules. Python scripting support enables automation and customization for advanced scientific workflows and educational demonstrations.
