- Description
- The G16 (GRS16) file type is associated with Gaussian 16, a software application widely used for computational chemistry. This file format is specifically designed to store and manage input and output data related to molecular simulations and electronic structure calculations performed by the Gaussian 16 software. It contains detailed information on molecular structures, including atomic coordinates, as well as computational parameters and results such as energy levels, vibrational frequencies, and optimization data. The G16 format is essential for chemists and researchers engaged in molecular modeling, allowing for the detailed analysis and interpretation of chemical properties and reactions at the molecular level.
- A GIF file is an image file often used for web graphics. It may contain up to 256 indexed colors with a color palette that may be a predefined set of colors or may be adapted to the colors in the image. GIF files are saved in a lossless format, meaning the clarity of the image is not compromised with GIF compression.
