MolecuLens vs Crys

Explore molecules in 3D, learn chemistry faster, and generate shareable figures with help from AI. MolecuLens gives you access to 100M+ compounds from PubChem. Search by name, SMILES, formula, or even draw — then explore interactive 2D/3D structures in seconds. VISUALIZE & EXPLORE • Interactive 2D and 3D molecular viewing • Highlight functional groups, rings, and key regions with Lens mode • Native support for transition metal complexes (11 metals, 5+ geometries) • Conformer generation for molecules without existing 3D structures AI-POWERED LEARNING • Generate guided molecular tours with AI narration • Create quizzes grounded in molecular analytics • Turn structures into stories for teaching and communication SEARCH ANY WAY YOU WANT • Common names: "caffeine", "aspirin", "glucose" • SMILES strings: paste any valid structure • Coordination notation: "[Fe(H2O)6]3+" • Chemical formulas and PubChem CIDs BUILT FOR EDUCATION Great for organic chemistry students, biochem learners, educators, and science communicators. Build intuition by interacting with structures — not memorizing them.

Crys-CAST brings crystal and molecular structure viewing, geometry analysis, and presentation tools to iPhone and iPad. OPEN AND EXPLORE Open CIF, XYZ, PDB, MOL, SDF, MOL2, and RES files from Files or other apps. Explore asymmetric units, unit cells, and supercells with ball-and-stick, Spacefill, coordination polyhedra, and thermal ellipsoids when suitable displacement data is available. Rotate, zoom, and view structures along crystallographic directions. MEASURE AND ANALYZE Inspect bond lengths, bond angles, and geometric hydrogen-bond candidates, grouped by type with clear symmetry details. Combine selected length, angle, and hydrogen-bond labels directly on the structure. Distinguish coordinate-calculated values from matching CIF-reported geometry, and export compact bond-length and bond-angle tables as TXT or Excel-compatible CSV. Explore simulated powder X-ray diffraction patterns, BFDH morphology, and geometric pore analysis. Display pore space alone or together with the crystal structure. BUILD YOUR COLLECTION Organize structures in My Database. Add files from History or import structure files and ZIP, RAR, or 7z archives into a chosen collection. Name entries, save viewing states, and export collections for reuse. CREATE PRESENTATION MATERIALS Save structure images and record GIF or MP4 animations with resolution and frame-rate presets and custom duration. Use automatic rotation or adjust the view while recording. Animation exports contain the structure viewer without interface controls or sound. MAKE THE VIEW YOUR OWN Use a consistent interface on iPhone and iPad, choose light or dark appearance, and customize backgrounds, unit-cell lines, axes, and scale bars. SCIENTIFIC SCOPE Calculated geometry, hydrogen-bond candidates, pore results, and other analyses depend on the input data and selected settings. They support visualization and interpretation but do not replace structure refinement or experimental validation. Missing hydrogen positions are not inferred. Actual recording frame rate depends on device performance and structure complexity.
