Polyrate tutorial in PDF formatTo obtain Polyrate:
The Polyrate package is available for downloading (Web access only) through Donald G. Truhlar at the University of Minnesota. To obtain Polyrate from Minnesota, fill out the license below. You will then receive the password required for downloading by email. Polyrate distribution at Minnesota is currently being handled by Software Manager.Polyrate 2016-2A and above are not reverse compatible with versions of the interface programs prior to 2016. New versions of these programs will be released. Earlier versions of the code that are still used in some derived codes are also available, in particular:
Polyrate 9.7, which is used in JAGUARATE 2007 and NWCHEMRATE 2007.
Polyrate 9.1, which is used in MC-TINKERATE 9.1
Polyrate 9.0, which is used in CRATE-version 9.0.1
Polyrate 8.5.1, which is used in AMSOLRATE 8.6 and MORATE 8.6.License:

Enhancements:
Summary of most significant enhancements in Polyrate since version 7.2. For a complete list and detailed descriptions, please refer to the manual.
Bibliography:
Bibliography of publications based in whole or in part on Polyrate.
Polyrate users will find it useful to consult two book chapters that summarize many of the methods used in the Polyrate code:
- (1) The GTST book chapter:
"Generalized Transition State Theory," D. G. Truhlar, A. D. Isaacson, and B. C. Garrett, in Theory of Chemical Reaction Dynamics, edited by M. Baer (CRC Press, Boca Raton, FL, 1985), Vol. 4, pp. 65-137. pdf- (2) The VTST/MT book chapter:
"Variational Transition State Theory with Multidimensional Tunneling," A. Fernandez-Ramos, B. A. Ellingson, B. C. Garrett, and D. G. Truhlar, in Reviews in Computational Chemistry, Vol. 23 edited by K. B. Lipkowitz and T. R. Cundari (Wiley-VCH, Hoboken, NJ, 2007), pp. 125-232. pdfOld Polyrate announcments
