CHIME

CHIME, a product of MDL Information Systems, is a plug-in for web browsers that allows three-dimensional models of chemical structures to be displayed within a web page and manipulated by the user (you!). It is available free of charge for academic and personal use from MDL.

If CHIME is properly installed on your computer the box below will contain a rotating spacefilled model of methane (CH₄).

If you do not see this model you will need to download and install CHIME on your computer.  CHIME support is available from MDL's web site.
