Software for Chemistry Materials (SCM) was established in 1995 as a spin-out from the theoretical chemistry department of the VU University Amsterdam with an aim to develop and market the Amsterdam Density Functional (ADF) software that has unique capabilities for modeling molecular properties of OLED materials.
Notably, ADF predicts phosphorescent lifetimes of transition metal complexes (used as OLED phosphors) through first-principle methods. ADF can also assess charge mobilities and exciton couplings in organic semi-conductors.
