ChemDoodle software available

ChemDoodle is chemical drawing and publishing software available for Windows, Mac and Linux. There is a one-time (easy!) installation on up to two computers and it even works on your iPhone/iPad or Android device. This resource is new to TSRI and we hope it fills the gap for chemical drawing software for those on Macs and Linux. Get started with the Library's ChemDoodle Guide.

Features include:

Chemical file types: supports ChemDraw, ISIS/Sketch, ChemSketch, MarvinSketch, MOLfiles, CML, SMILES, InChI, PDB and others
Supports spectroscopy input and can simulate mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
Build reactions with powerful arrow tools and drag and drop interfaces
Paste scalable vector graphics into your favorite applications, like Microsoft Office, iWork, OpenOffice and Adobe tools
