Introduction[edit]
The kernel of the Dalton2016 suite is the two powerful molecular electronic structure programs, Dalton and LSDalton. Together, the two programs provide an extensive functionality for the calculations of molecular properties at the HF, DFT, MCSCF, and CC levels of theory. Many of these properties are only available in the Dalton2016 suite.
