SoftwareChemDraw

Professional-quality drawing and editing of chemical structures

ChemDraw is a software for drawing chemical structures. These structures can be used in database queries, in the creation of publication-quality graphics and as output data for modeling and other graphical programs (e.g. Chem 3D Pro) that require electronic descriptions of molecules and reactions.

The ChemDraw/Excel included in the distribution package enables the creation of chemically intelligent tables in an Excel environment. You can create and edit chemical structures in Excel, calculate chemical properties and search databases. The package also includes the software Mnova Lite CDE.
