ChemViz3D
What it is
ChemViz3D is a free browser tool for teaching chemistry with interactive three-dimensional molecules and reaction animations. Students can rotate, pause, and zoom around atoms and bonds in real time. A keyframe editor allows custom chemical reaction animations, which can be shared by link and viewed in a browser without installation. The molecule toolkit provides structure analysis and visualization, with SVG or MOL downloads, and uses RDKit.js. An image-to-SMILES workflow accepts uploaded files, pasted screenshots, or image URLs and supports .smi and .mol exports. ChemViz3D can convert .chemx or .json animation files into Python scripts prepared for Blender. It describes using PubChem PUG-REST and NCI/CADD services for molecular data and structure resolution. The tool is used in UTS chemistry courses and was developed under two UTS professors’ guidance. The individual learning and teaching plan is free with no sign-up required.
