KingDraw

KingDraw is a fantastic tool for chemists, teachers, and students. It lets you create molecules and reactions in a really easy way. The user-friendly interface makes building everything from simple to complex chemical structures a breeze with just drag-and-drop actions.

User-Friendly Interface

The main part of KingDraw is the editing area. Here, you can place and connect graphical chemical structures using different types of bonds like simple, double, triple, bold, and wedged. Plus, you can add acyclic chains or snaking chains too! There are also predefined groups and chair cyclohexanes available. And if you're working on something tricky, arrows and brackets are at your disposal for more complex structures or reactions.

Automatic Chemical Properties

One of the cool features of KingDraw is that it automatically generates the chemical properties of your compounds. You can easily analyze formulas, check exact mass, molecular weight, and other important details that might be useful for your project. If you need to look up an atomic number or its position in the periodic table, it’s all there!

3D Model Viewing

A unique aspect of KingDraw is its 3D module. This allows you to see your compound as a colorful 3D model! You can move and rotate it around with an interactive viewer that even offers various view modes—like one without hydrogen atoms—giving you flexibility in how you want to visualize your work.

Exporting Options

You can also export your structures as PNG images! This feature is super handy for creating files that fit into any other project you’re working on.

Cloud Backup Feature

Another great part about KingDraw is its cloud support. With KingDraw Cloud, you can back up your chemical projects securely online. This keeps your data safe and lets you access it from anywhere—no matter what platform you're using.

A Great Tool for Learning

If you're looking to sketch reactions, pathways, or individual molecules, KingDraw has got you covered! It’s perfect for learning and teaching organic chemistry—and best of all? It’s completely free to use! So why not give it a try?
