Desktop and Enterprise Software, Solutions and Services for Chemists and Biologists.

If you are running Mac OSX 10.15 (Catalina), it is recommended to download the latest version of ChemDraw (version 19.1 as of June 2020). Earlier ChemDraw versions may not work with your operating system. The Chem3D feature within ChemDraw is also not available for Mac users, only PC users. To download and install ChemDraw version 17, 18, or 19. ChemDraw, along with Chem3D and ChemFinder, is part of the ChemOffice suite of programs and is available for Macintosh and Microsoft Windows.

ChemDraw is a molecule editor first developed in 1985 by David A. Evans and Stewart Rubenstein^[1] (later by the cheminformatics company CambridgeSoft). The company was sold to PerkinElmer in the year 2011.^[2] ChemDraw, along with Chem3D and ChemFinder, is part of the ChemOffice suite of programs and is available for Macintosh and Microsoft Windows.

Features of ChemDraw 12.0[edit]

• Chemical structure to name conversion
• Chemical name to structure conversion
• NMR spectrum simulation (¹H and ¹³C)
• Mass spectrum simulation
• Structure cleanup
• An extensive collection of templates, including style templates for most major chemical journals.
• Export to SVG
• Export to PDF (Mac Version only)

File format[edit]

The native file formats for ChemDraw are the binary CDX and the preferred XML-based CDXML formats.ChemDraw can also import from, and export to, MOL, SDF, and SKC chemical file formats.

Plugins[edit]

Chem3d Manual

SDK for ChemDraw enables third-party developers to write plugins. For example, - Quick HotKey helps to set up HotKeys in interactive mode, instead manually editing of text file. The Plugin siteappears to have been abandoned.
