SAPT is a collection of computer codes designed to implement the many-body (body = electron) version of Symmetry-Adapted Perturbation Theory for intermolecular interactions. This code has been extensively used in studies of intermolecular forces. For a description of SAPT see: B. Jeziorski, R. Moszynski, and K. Szalewicz “Perturbation Theory Approach to Intermolecular Potential Energy Surfaces of van der Waals Complexes”, Chem. Rev. 94, 1887-1930 (1994). This review article contains references to the original papers where the SAPT methods were developed. Detailed description of the SAPT theory and SAPT code usage is available in the documentation section.
The SAPT suite consists of a few separate programs: serial SAPT, SAPT(DFT), open-shell SAPT(DFT), parallel SAPT, 3-body SAPT, 3-body SAPT(DFT), ATMOL SCF, and asymptotic properties packages. The programs are described on a separate page. A description of capabiliites of these programs can be found in J. Garcia, R. Podeszwa, and K. Szalewicz “SAPT codes for calculations of intermolecular interaction energies”, J. Chem. Phys. 152, 184109 (2020).
SAPT is available free of charge but is not a public domain program. Prospective users should consult the license section for instructions on how to obtain the program.

SAPT2020.2 has been released. This release of SAPT adds several quality-of-life improvements to the fastdf program, such as the possibility of using different functionals for first- and second-order contributions, and the automatic computation of ionization potntentials. It also has improvements on the I/O performance in several subroutines. Read more...
