6. CHEMSKETCH
ChemSketch is a chemical structure drawing program developed by
ACD/Labs. Among other features, ChemSketch has the ability to:
- Draw and view structures in 2D, or render in 3D to view from any angle
- Draw reactions and reaction schemes, and calculate reactant quantities
- Generate structures from InChI and SMILES strings
- Generate IUPAC systematic names for molecules of up to 50 atoms and 3 ring structures
- Predict logP for individual structures
- Search for structures in the built-in dictionary of over 165,000 systematic, trivial, and trade names
ChemSketch uses many standard file formats for the import and export
of drawings. The full list of available file formats can be found
here,
under the link "standard file formats." The program allows the user to
draw chemical structures including organics, organometallics, polymers,
and Markush structures.
Users can download a
freeware version of the software on the ACD/Labs website. The full version of the software is also available for purchase.
By using chemsketch all work, exercise, practice problem for student can be done within short time. No more of using "manually" drawing inside Microsoft word. Beside that, it work best when come to draw molecular structure for organic compound. On the other hand, drawing apparatus for chemistry laboratory will be so much fun.
These are sample of drawing done in chemsketch.
