structure

See the molecule, in three dimensions

Ball-and-stick geometry you can rotate and zoom, with the formula, molecular weight and SMILES beside it — the structure itself, not a picture of one.

How to use it
01

Name a compound

caffeine, aspirin, water — or open one from inside another subject’s tree.

02

Rotate it

The model is live geometry: drag to turn it, scroll to close in.

03

Read the identifiers

Formula, molecular weight and SMILES, so the answer is checkable.
