**ARC** (Automated Rate Calculator) automates electronic structure calculations and extracts high-quality thermodynamic and kinetic data for use in chemical kinetic modeling.

ARC has many [advanced features](https://reactionmechanismgenerator.github.io/ARC/advanced.html), but its core functionality is simple:

> It takes 2D graph-based molecular representations—such as  
> [SMILES](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplified_molecular-input_line-entry_system), [InChI](https://www.inchi-trust.org/), or [RMG adjacency lists](https://reactionmechanismgenerator.github.io/RMG-Py/reference/molecule/adjlist.html)—and automatically executes, tracks, and processes the relevant electronic structure jobs on user-defined computing resources.

ARC's key outputs are:
- Thermodynamic properties (H, S, Cp)
- High-pressure limit rate coefficients

---

## 🚀 Mission

ARC's mission is to provide the chemical kinetics community with a well-documented, user-friendly, and extensible framework for automatically computing species thermochemistry and reaction kinetics.
