WebMO Molecule Editor vs MoleculeSketch iP

WebMO allows users to build and view molecules in 3-D, visualize orbitals and symmetry elements, lookup chemical information and properties from external databases, and access state-of-the-art computational chemistry programs. WebMO is recommended for students and faculty in high school, college, and graduate school who desire mobile access to molecular structures, information, and calculations. WebMO capabilities include: - Build molecules by drawing atoms and bonds in a 3-D molecular editor, or by speaking the name (e.g., “aspirin”) - Optimize structures using VSEPR theory or molecular mechanics - View Huckel molecular orbitals, electron density, and electrostatic potential - View molecular vibrations - View point group and symmetry elements of molecules - Lookup basic molecular information, including IUPAC and common names, stoichiometry, molar mass - Lookup chemical data from PubChem and ChemSpider - Lookup experimental and predicted molecular properties from external databases (NIST, Sigma-Aldrich) - Lookup IR, UV-VIS, NMR, and mass spectra from external databases (NIST, SDBS) - Capture high-resolution molecular images - Save and recall molecular structures locally - Export and import structures via email WebMO is also a front-end to WebMO servers (version 14 and higher): - Supports Gaussian, GAMESS, Molpro, MOPAC, NWChem, ORCA, PQS, PSI, Quantum Espresso, VASP, Q-Chem, and Tinker computational chemistry programs - Submit, monitor, and view calculations - View formatted tabular data extracted from output files, as well as raw output - Visualize geometry, partial charges, dipole moment, normal vibrational modes, molecular orbitals, and NMR/IR/UV-VIS spectra

MoleculeSketch is a simple and easy to use drawing App for chemical formulas and reactions. MoleculeSketch iOS is the standalone version of MoleculeSketch for iPad. The free version offers basic functionality. The full version can be unlocked with an in-app purchase. It has following features: + add atoms and bonds nicely by position locking (can be disabled) + choose different bond types (double, stereochemical, delocalised, etc.) + add bonds with higher hapticity + type functional groups by double-clicking on symbol + show missing hydrogen atoms depending on free valences + "grow" and remove hydrogen atoms (*) + show non bonding electron pairs on heteroatoms + add reaction arrows and text fields + access drawing attributes from popover panels + calculate average mass and formula of molecules (*) + group and arrange objects (*) + change background color of drawing area and add a grid + copy/paste/cut molecules and drawings + paste drawings into other applications + import from mol/sdf files (*) + use gestures for zooming and rotation + import structures from mol- or sdf-files (*) (*) some of these features and others are only available when using the full version (inApp purchase)
