Draw the structure, and save it as a ChemDraw file. If you drew the structure before applying any settings, then you need to select the object, open the “Object” menu and choose “Apply document settings from → ACS Document 1996”. Then save it as a PNG file, to be read by an image editor such as GIMP or IrfanView (see below for details).
Writing MDL Molfiles, CML, ChemDraw XML text format Integration with OpenBabel , allowing XDrawChem to read and write over 20 different chemical file formats . Image export in Portable Network Graphics (PNG), Windows bitmap, Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), and Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)
ACD/ChemSketch allows for both basic structure drawing and importation of 3D and 2D .MDL files from other molecular modelling programs. ChemSketch has been favorably compared to other molecular modelling software, especially ChemDraw, based on its ability to display a wide range of structural components and the ease of creating complex structures quickly.
ChemDraw is a molecule editor first developed in 1985 by Selena "Sally" Evans, her husband David A. Evans, and Stewart Rubenstein [1] [2] (later by the cheminformatics company CambridgeSoft). The company was sold to PerkinElmer in 2011. [ 3 ]
Three dimensionality is best highlighted by the depictions of bonds, using wedges, bolding, and hashed formats. Some artists highlight three-dimensionality by varying fonts sizes, e.g. slightly larger fonts for the "front" atoms. In organic chemistry, double bonds and C-H bonds are shorter than most single bonds.
A chemical file format is a type of data file which is used specifically for depicting molecular data. One of the most widely used is the chemical table file format, which is similar to Structure Data Format files. They are text files that represent multiple chemical structure records and associated data fields.
ChemWindow is a chemical structure drawing molecule editor and publishing program now published by John Wiley & Sons as of 2020, [1] originally developed by Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. [2] [3] It was first developed by SoftShell International in the 1990s. [4]
Not all contributors have access to ChemDraw, so settings for a variety of software will need to be defined. If at all possible, we should try to agree on settings that are widely available (e.g., the standard ACS settings should probably be at least one option, though also see the points below).
