Molecular editors are commonly used tools to draw and manipulate chemical structures. These tools also provides a number of facilities such as geometry optimization, structure visualization, energy minimization.
ChemDoodle Mobile is the iPhone and iPad companion to the popular chemical publishing desktop application, ChemDoodle. ChemDoodle Mobile is a calculator for drawn organic structures. There are four main windows: Draw, Calculate, Spectra and Help. The Draw window shows a typical ChemDoodle sketcher, where you can draw and store your structures. ACD/ChemSketch is a drawing package that allows you to draw chemical structures including organics, organometallics, polymers, and Markush structures.
