[* EMSL Arrows API*](https://arrows.emsl.pnnl.gov/api)The difficulty of simulating the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of new materials is convoluted by the sensitivity of the processes at the macroscopic scale to the atomic scale; the unusual and unexpected bonding behaviors of the materials; the complex extreme temperature and pressure environments likely to be encountered; and the requirements that simulations be as parameter free as possible and extremely reliable. The tools of quantum chemistry and statistical mechanics combined with advanced parallel packages such as NWChem have proved to be very effective and productive. Not surprisingly, programs that implement these types of tools make up a large fraction of DOE OS supercomputer cycles. Despite these hugely successful theoretical developments, reliable calculations of this type require considerable computational effort and often the use of codes with difficult input decks.
The NWChem molecular modeling software implements a robust and diverse set of molecular theories that can estimate the thermodynamics and kinetics of molecules and materials. It arguably has the most capabilities of any molecular modeling code today. The problem with NWChem and other molecular modeling codes is that:
- Molecular modeling software is extremely complex, contains millions of lines of code, and takes a long time to set up and to learn how to use.
- Even the most basic input for molecular modeling software requires the use of other software to generate it.
- Because of this complexity people unnaturally identify with codes and molecular theories, and they are hesitant to learn new codes and new molecular simulation techniques.
The goal of this project is to provide EMSL users and DOE scientists and engineers with an open-source computational chemistry and materials tool called EMSL Arrows. EMSL Arrows is a software package that combines NWChem, SQL and NOSQL databases, and email (in the future also social networks, e.g. Twitter, Tumblr) that simplifies molecular and materials modeling and makes these modeling capabilities easier to use and more accessible to many scientists and engineers.
EMSL Arrows is very simple to use. The user just emails chemical reactions to [email protected] and then an email is sent back with thermodynamic, reaction pathway (kinetic), spectroscopy, and other results.
EMSL Arrows parses the email and then searches the database for the compounds in the reactions. If a compound isn't there, an NWChem calculation is setup and submitted to calculate it. Once the calculation is finished the results are entered into the database and then results are emailed back. This whole process is completely automated. To enter different calculation types (e.g. use pspw theory, or pbe0 exchange correlation functional) the SMILES is appended with keyword{options} tags. An example email is as follows:

::Arrows
The results returned by EMSL Arrows are a combination of text and graphical output.
Currently EMSL Arrows is designed to calculate the following for all NWChem theories:
- Reaction thermodynamics for molecular systems
- Reaction paths for molecular systems
- UV-vis, IR, Raman spectra for molecular systems, phonon spectra for materials systems
- NMR spectra for molecular and materials systems
- EXAFS spectra for molecular and materials systems
- Energetics, structures, and band structures of crystals using the Crystal Open Database (COD ) numbers
- A variety of datafiles can be returned including XYZ files, CIF files, NWChem output files
We envision that as Arrows evolves it will be part of future closed cycles of chemical and materials discovery that requires integrated computational and experimental tools combined with materials synthesis.

The combined string, Molecule_Input keyword1{option1} keyword2{option2} keywordN{optionN}
, is called an extended smiles
or
esmiles
for short. The Molecule_Input
can be specified using a
variety of formats including a SMILES string, common names, iupac, kegg
numbers, cas, pubchem ids, chemspider ids, and InChI strings. The
keyword{option} tags are used to enter different calculation types for a
molecule, e.g. use pspw theory, ccsd(t), or pbe0 exchange correlation
functional.
The following are examples of esmiles strings:

When a solvent is specified by name, the descriptors for the solvent are based on the Minnesota Solvent Descriptor Database:
Winget, P.; Dolney, D. M.; Giesen, D. J.; Cramer, C. J.; Truhlar, D. G. Minnesota Solvent Descriptor Database. University of Minnesota: Minneapolis, MN, 2010. http://comp.chem.umn.edu/solvation/mnsddb.pdf
The basic input is a chemical reaction where the molecules are specified using smiles strings or esmiles strings (vida infra), e.g.
C(Cl)(Cl)(Cl)O + C --> C(Cl)(Cl)Cl + CO
Note that the reaction: :reaction keywords have only one ":", whereas the Arrows keywords use two colons.
The results contain both gas phase and solution phase reaction energies. The default level of theory used in these calculations is b3lyp/6-311++G(2d,2p) and the default solvation model is COSMO. The returned email will contain the following output.
Reaction 1: C(Cl)(Cl)(Cl)O + C --> C(Cl)(Cl)Cl + CO
- instance 1: 1.00 (Id=6833) + 1.00 (Id=11824) --> 1.00 (Id=6832) + 1.00 (Id=11215)

- instance 1: 0.012804 0.015267 0.014038 -0.003173 0.010865 -- in Hartrees
The reaction output for the chemical reaction contains the gas phase reaction energy, gas-phase reaction enthalpy, gas-phase reaction free energy, change in solvation energy, and the solution phase reaction free energy. The energy values are given in kcal/mol, kj/mol, and Hartrees.. Besides the energies the output also provides several rows of information about the calculation:
- first row: the reaction input parsed
- second row: the arrows ids used for the compounds in the reaction
- third row: the iupac names of the compounds if available. If not available the systems will default to using smiles
strings
- fourth- rows: the chemical reaction is written using the esmiles notation.
The esmiles notation contains all the information about the calculations of the compounds. In this example, theory used was dft, basis was 6-311++G(2d,2p), the exchange correlation, the solvation type was cosmo. The charge and multiplicity of the molecules are also given. The value in the nf{} tag contains the number of imaginary frequencies in the vibrational calculation for the molecule.
A variety of other inputs to describe the chemical structure besides smiles can be used, including common names, iupac, kegg numbers, cas, pubchem ids, chemspider ids, and InChI strings. The common names, iupac and InChI strings are entered as replacements to the smiles strings, and the kegg, cas, pubchem, and csid inputs are entered as kegg=value, cas=value, cid=value, csid=value where value is the id. The chemical structure input types can be mixed and matched in the reaction input. The following reaction inputs are all equivalent.
trichloromethanol + methane --> chloroform + methyl alcohol
trichloromethanol + C --> chloroform + kegg=D02309
trichloromethanol + C --> chloroform + cas=67-56-1
trichloromethanol + C --> chloroform + cid=887
trichloromethanol + C --> chloroform + csid=864
trichloromethanol + C --> chloroform + InChI=1S/CH4O/c1-2/h2H,1H3
To calculate atomization energies the following input can be used.
C(Cl)(Cl)(Cl)O --> [C] mult{3} + 3 [Cl] mult{2} + [O] mult{3}
To calculate a reaction energy using non-default options the following format could be used, e.g.
Arrows::
reaction:
trichloromethanol theory{pspw} xc{lda} + methane theory{pspw} xc{lda}
--> chloroform theory{pspw} xc{lda} + methyl alcohol theory{pspw} xc{lda}
:reaction
::Arrows
in the body of an Arrows email, or just the following single line input in the Web API entry box
trichloromethanol theory{pspw} xc{lda} + methane theory{pspw} xc{lda}
--> chloroform theory{pspw} xc{lda} + methyl alcohol theory{pspw} xc{lda}
Entering ESMILES in this way for reactions is tedius and prone to typos. To simplify this type of input a map function has been added to the reaction input, where the format for the mapping function is to append the reaction with the tilde, "~", symbol followed by the esmiles options.
trichloromethanol + methane --> chloroform + methyl alcohol ~ theory{pspw} xc{lda}
The map function essentially appends every compound in the reaction by
the esmiles options string.This is preferred way to use the map
function. However, an alternative format for entering the map function
has also been added to the reaction: :reaction block. The format of the
block is reaction[esmiles options]: reaction :reaction
.
Arrows::
reaction[theory{pspw} xc{lda}]:
trichloromethanol + methane --> chloroform + methyl alcohol
:reaction
::Arrows
The xyzinput: :xyzinput block is used to enter a chemical structure using xyz coordinates. The label: :label subblock is used to label the xyz structure so that it can be referenced in reaction: :reaction, molecule: :molecule, and nmr: :nmr blocks. The xyz geometry is entered inside the xyzdata: :xyzdata block. The coordinates are assumed to be in Angstroms. The xyz geometry can either contain the number of atoms at the start of the input, e.g.
