About PhotochemCAD

We developed PhotochemCAD for use as a computer-aided research and teaching tool in photochemistry. This not-for-profit effort is aimed at advancing the science of photochemistry.

The PhotochemCAD program contains modules for performing calculations, a database of absorption and emission spectra for 150 diverse compounds, a database of solar spectra, and extensive literature references. It runs under Windows 95, 98, 2000, and XP.

PhotochemCAD has not been tested under Windows Vista. There is no Macintosh version of PhotochemCAD.

Current version

The current version is Version 2.1, available on our Downloads page.

For new users

If you are new to PhotochemCAD, we suggest you visit the Getting Started page, and get the video help files from our Downloads page.

For advanced users

We have a page with answers to highly specialized questions for advanced users. Please note that very few users need the information on the advanced user's page; it is not necessary for most users of PhotochemCAD.

About us

The PhotochemCAD program and databases were developed by Jonathan Lindsey and his coworkers. You can visit the Lindsey group on the Web or send email.
