Estimating the thermochemical properties of systems is important in many fields such as material science and catalysis. The Python multiscale thermochemistry toolbox (pMuTT) is a Python software library developed to streamline the conversion of ab-initio data to thermochemical properties using statistical mechanics, to perform thermodynamic analysis, and to create input files for kinetic modeling software. Its open-source implementation in Python leverages existing scientific codes, encourages users to write scripts for their needs, and allows the code to be expanded easily. The core classes developed include a statistical mechanical model in which energy modes can be included or excluded to suit the application, empirical models for rapid thermodynamic property estimation, and a reaction model to calculate kinetic parameters or changes in thermodynamic properties. In addition, pMuTT supports other features, such as Brønsted–Evans–Polanyi (BEP) relationships, coverage effects, and ab-initio phase diagrams.
