ChemSketch

ChemSketch is a chemically intelligent drawing interface that allows you to draw almost any chemical structure including organics, organometallics, polymers, and Markush structures. Use it to produce professional-looking structures and diagrams for reports and publications. An awesome chemical drawing software for your desktop or laptop computer!

See It In Action

• Draw structures, reactions, and schema (e.g., biotransformation maps)
• Generate IUPAC systematic names for molecules of up to 50 atoms and 3 ring structures
• Predict molecular properties for individual structures (molecular weight, formula weight, density, logP
• Search for structures in the built-in dictionary of over 170,000 systematic, trivial, and trade names
• Create professional reports, working with structures, text, and graphics simultaneously
• Import and export structure files in a variety of standard file formats

Features and Highlights

• Click and drag between two atoms to quickly create bonds
• Create chemical structures from InChI and SMILES codes
• Draw Markush structures (generic view), structures with delocalization, and polymers
• Create special Markush structures with added or removed mass or fragments, to describe metabolic and mass-spectral transformations
• Depict reactions by drawing, importing, mapping atom-atom transformation, and editing reaction conditions
• Adjust the position of Hydrogens near each atom
• Apply powerful 3D and 2D rotation, and move/resize features
• Create 3D models from 2D structures with the geometry optimization button
• Search for chemical structures in various file formats throughout your computer's file systems. (SK2; MOL; SDF; SKC; CHM; CDX; RXN; Adobe PDF; Microsoft Office DOC, XLS, PPT; and ACD/Labs databases CUD, HUD, CFD, NDB, ND5, INT)
• Search Microsoft Word documents with structures created in ChemDraw or Accelrys ISIS
• Search using full or partial structures
• Choose from a wide range of special bond types including aromatic, delocalized, undefined single and double stereo, quadruple, and coordination bonds
• Automatically assign hydrogen atoms and charges to fill the valence
• Instantly display chemical formula, molecular weight, percentage composition, and estimated macroscopic properties such as molar refractivity, refractive index, molar volume, density, and parachor
• Look up elements on the Expanded Periodic Table of Elements which includes physical properties, NMR properties, isotope composition, and images of elements in their natural form
• Draw reactions and complex chemical schemes with manual or automatic mapping
• Calculate quantities for chemical reactions and solutions
• View all the suggested tautomeric forms for your structure
• Create professional chemistry-related reports and presentations
• Export your Chem Sketch files to Adobe Acrobat PDF format
• Cut- and-paste structures and chemical information directly into Windows applications and maintain OLE links
• Convert your work into HTML
• Create templates for generating reports from other ACD/Labs products, defined by rules or company standards
• Customize toolbars
• Customize display properties such as atom numbering, chemical symbols, and valence
• Send ChemSketch SK2 files or PDF documents as an e-mail attachment directly from the ACD/ChemSketch interface
• Work with structures, text, and graphics simultaneously
• Save and load object styles
