ChemDraw is the quasi-standard of chemical structure editors. On the market since 1985, it has developed into a comprehensive software suite designed to facilitate communication and efficiency in chemical research. Its tools enable the simple and efficient creation of publication-quality chemical structures and diagrams. ChemDraw helps turn ideas and drawings into professional presentations, reports and publications (from the manufacturer's website). Further information
