We discuss the implementation of a computer program for accurate calculation of the kinetics of chemical reactions integrated in the user-friendly, multi-purpose Virtual Multifrequency Spectrometer tool. The program is based on the ab initio modeling of the involved molecular species, the adoption of transition-state theory for each elementary step of the reaction, and the use of a master-equation approach accounting for the complete reaction scheme. Some features of the software are illustrated through examples including the interconversion reaction of hydroxyacetone and 2-hydroxypropanal and the production of HCN and HNC from vinyl cyanide.
