Before we will take you to the download, we would like to know you better.
Please fill out the form and accept the license agreement.
Do us a favor and tell us your real (and complete) name and real (unabbreviated) affiliation because “James Bond” at “MI6” does not do chemical-bonding analysis, at least as far as we know. We promise not to share that precious information with anyone. In case you are James Bond, provide Vodka Martini first.

This licence is provided free of charge, contingent upon the agreement that Lobster is used for non-profit research exclusively; any commercial use whatsoever is prohibited. SSC/RWTH declines any liability for the software and any responsibility for the results of calculations produced with the program. The licence does not cover any maintenance service for the software or support for its implementation. b) The Licencee guarantees that the software or any part thereof shall not be made accessible to third parties without the explicit written consent of SSC/RWTH. c) In future publications of work performed using Lobster, its use will be properly acknowledged with the following references: i) R.
