With \texttt{quantum-chemistry-bonn}, authors can ensure uniform formatting for program names, method labels, color highlights, and other notations across all QC-related manuscripts. \end{abstract} \tableofcontents \bigskip %------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \section{Introduction} The \texttt{quantum-chemistry-bonn} package was created to simplify and standardize the appearance of quantum-chemical program names, method labels, and key notations in \LaTeX\ documents. Rather than manually inserting font switches, colors, or special macros each time you mention a program (e.g., \orca, \xtb) or a quantity (e.g., \pka, \dgsolv), \texttt{quantum-chemistry-bonn} provides a concise set of commands that automatically apply consistent formatting. Additionally, several custom colors matching the University of Bonn’s corporate palette are defined, enabling easy color highlights in presentations, posters, or manuscripts. \medskip Key features: \begin{itemize} \item \textbf{Program Macros:} Uniform fonts (small caps, typewriter) for popular QC codes (\orca, \censo, \draco, \crest, \xtb, \tblite). \item \textbf{Color Palette:} Predefined RGB colors (\texttt{bonnblue}, \texttt{bonnred}, \texttt{bonnyellow}, \texttt{bonngrey}/\texttt{bonngray}, \texttt{bonngreen}, etc.) aligned with University of Bonn branding. \item \textbf{Abbreviation Macros:} Convenient commands for \etal, \ie, \eg, physical chemistry quantities (\pka, \dgsolv, \kcalpmol). \item \textbf{QC-Method Macro:} Shorthands for several quantum mechanical methods such as \method{r2scan3c} . \item \textbf{Minimal Dependencies:} Only \texttt{xcolor} and \texttt{siunitx} are required. \end{itemize} %------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \section{Installation} \label{sec:installation} \subsection{CTAN or Local } The \texttt{quantum-chemistry-bonn} package is available via CTAN. Add the following line in your document’s preamble: \begin{verbatim} \usepackage{quantum-chemistry-bonn} \end{verbatim} \subsection{Manual (Unpacked) Usage} If you have not installed the package system-wide, simply place the \texttt{quantum-chemistry-bonn.sty} file in the same folder as your \texttt{.tex} document. Then, in the preamble, either: \begin{verbatim} % If quantum-chemistry-bonn.sty is in the same directory: \input{quantum-chemistry-bonn.sty} \end{verbatim} %------------------------------------------------------------------------------ % \section{Package Options} % \label{sec:options} % The current version (0.1) of \texttt{quantum-chemistry-bonn} does not provide user-settable options. All macros and colors are preconfigured. Future versions may introduce options to toggle certain definitions or adjust color names. %------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \section{Color Definitions} \label{sec:colors} \texttt{quantum-chemistry-bonn} defines a palette of RGB colors aligned with the University of Bonn branding, plus a few additional utility colors. All color names can be passed to \verb|\textcolor{}{...}| or used in other color-aware commands. \bigskip \begin{tabular}{@{}llp{8cm}@{}} \textbf{Color Name} & \textbf{RGB} & \textbf{Description} \\ \midrule \texttt{bonnblue} & (007, 078, 159) & “Bonn blue” primary corporate color. \\ \texttt{bonnred} & (185, 039, 039) & “Bonn red” accent color. \\ \texttt{bonnyellow} & (252, 186, 000) & “Bonn yellow” highlight. \\ \texttt{bonngrey} & (144, 144, 133) & Neutral grey tone. \\ \texttt{bonngray} & (144, 144, 133) & Alias for \texttt{bonngrey} (American spelling). \\ \texttt{bonngreen} & (000, 123, 078) & Contrast green for accent. \\ \midrule \texttt{newaccent} & (000, 000, 000) & Reserved for future accent. \\ \texttt{black} & (000, 000, 000) & Standard black (redundant with default). \\ \texttt{highlightgreen} & (000, 204, 000) & Bright green for highlighting. \\ \texttt{white} & (255, 255, 255) & Pure white (contrast). \\ \texttt{StdBody} & (233, 233, 233) & Light grey for backgrounds or shading. \\ \end{tabular} \bigskip \subsection{Usage Examples} \begin{verbatim} % Text in Bonn blue: \textcolor{bonnblue}{This text appears in Bonn blue.} % Using shortcut macros: \colb{This is also Bonn blue.} \colr{This text is Bonn red.} \colg{This text is Bonn grey.} \coly{This text is Bonn yellow.} \end{verbatim} %------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \section{Shortcut Color Macros} \label{sec:shortcuts} To simplify inline color usage, \texttt{quantum-chemistry-bonn} defines four “shortcut” macros: \begin{itemize} \item \verb|\colb{}| $\Rightarrow$ \textcolor{bonnblue}{blue} text. \item \verb|\coly{}| $\Rightarrow$ \textcolor{bonnyellow}{yellow} text. \item \verb|\colr{}| $\Rightarrow$ \textcolor{bonnred}{red} text. \item \verb|\colg{}| $\Rightarrow$ \textcolor{bonngrey}{grey} text. \end{itemize} \noindent Example: \begin{verbatim} This sentence has a \colb{blue phrase}, a \colr{red phrase}, and a \coly{yellow phrase}. \end{verbatim} %------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \section{Program Name Macros} \label{sec:programs} Quantum-chemistry program names often involve unconventional capitalization, spacing, or font choices. \texttt{quantum-chemistry-bonn} provides dedicated macros to ensure consistent formatting. All program-related commands use \verb|\newcommand*| and select an appropriate font shape: \begin{description} \item[\texttt{\textbackslash orca}] – Renders “ORCA” in a monospaced (typewriter) font via \verb|\fontfamily{pag}|.\\ \textit{Usage:} \begin{verbatim} Calculations were performed with \orca\. \end{verbatim} \item[\texttt{\textbackslash censo}] – Renders “CENSO” in the same monospaced style.\\ \textit{Usage:} \begin{verbatim} \censo\ was employed for ensemble refinements. \end{verbatim} \item[\texttt{\textbackslash draco}] – Renders “Draco” in small caps.\\ \textit{Usage:} \begin{verbatim} The new module in \draco\ yields improved solvation free energies. \end{verbatim} \item[\texttt{\textbackslash crest}] – Renders “CREST” in small caps.\\ \textit{Usage:} \begin{verbatim} Conformers were generated with \crest\. \end{verbatim} \item[\texttt{\textbackslash xtb}] – Renders “xTB” in a \verb|\texttt| (typewriter) font.\\ \textit{Usage:} \begin{verbatim} For fast SQM screening, we used \xtb\. \end{verbatim} \item[\texttt{\textbackslash tblite}] – Renders “tblite” in a \verb|\texttt| font.\\ \textit{Usage:} \begin{verbatim} Hamiltonian elements were calculated via \tblite\. \end{verbatim} \end{description} \noindent Note: Each macro adds an implicit, unbreakable space at the end. If you do not want a space (e.g., before punctuation), use \verb|\orca{}| or manual spacing. %------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \section{Miscellaneous Macros} \label{sec:misc} In addition to program names, \texttt{quantum-chemistry-bonn} defines several commonly used scientific abbreviations and units: \begin{description} \item[\texttt{\textbackslash etal}] – Renders “\textit{et al.}”. \\ \textit{Usage:} \begin{verbatim} Smith \etal\ reported similar results. \end{verbatim} \item[\texttt{\textbackslash ie}] – Renders “\textit{i.e.}”. \\ \textit{Usage:} \begin{verbatim} We used the B3LYP functional (\ie\ hybrid GGA). \end{verbatim} \item[\texttt{\textbackslash eg}] – Renders “\textit{e.g.}”. \\ \textit{Usage:} \begin{verbatim} Many packages (e.g., \orca, \xtb) can compute dispersion. \end{verbatim} \item[\texttt{\textbackslash pka}] – Renders “p\textit{K}\textsubscript{a}” with a proper subscript “$a$”. \\ \textit{Usage:} \begin{verbatim} The calculated \pka\ of the acid is 4.8. \end{verbatim} \item[\texttt{\textbackslash dgsolv}] – Renders “$\delta$\textit{G}\textsubscript{solv}” with the delta and subscript “solv”. \\ \textit{Usage:} \begin{verbatim} The solvation free energy (\dgsolv) was computed using SMD. \end{verbatim} \item[\texttt{\textbackslash kcalmol}] – Renders “kcal$\cdot$mol$^{-1}$ ” with a trailing thin space to separate it from the next word. \\ \textit{Usage:} \begin{verbatim} The reaction barrier is 15.2 \kcalmol. \end{verbatim} \end{description} %------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \section{QC-Method Macro} \label{sec:qcmethods} \texttt{quantum-chemistry-bonn} includes dedicated macros for popular quantum mechanical methods: \begin{description} \item[\texttt{\textbackslash method\{\}}] – Renders \texttt{} properly e.g. “r\textsuperscript{2}SCAN-3c” with proper superscript formatting for the “2”.\\ \textit{Usage:} \begin{verbatim} Single-point energies were obtained at the \method{r2scan3c}\ level of theory. \end{verbatim} \end{description} %------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \section{Example Usage} \label{sec:example} Below is a minimal working example illustrating how to load \texttt{quantum-chemistry-bonn} and use its macros.
