Visualize a chemically intelligent drawing interface that provides a portal to an entire range of analytical tools, and facilitates the transformation of structural or analytical data into professional, easy-to-decipher reports or presentations. Advanced Chemistry Development, Inc., (ACD/Labs) has developed such an interface, and has integrated it with every desktop software module they produce. To date, over 500,000 chemists have incorporated ACD/Labs' chemical drawing and graphics package, ACD/ChemSketch, into their daily routines. Academic institutions worldwide have adopted this software as an interactive teaching tool to simplify and convey chemistry concepts to their students, and publishing bodies such as Thieme, the publisher of Science of Synthesis, consider it to be "...supportive of the organic chemistry publisher's role, both in the construction of compounds and their basic analysis."

ACD/ChemSketch is an advanced chemical drawing tool and is the accepted interface into the industry's best NMR and molecular property predictions, nomenclature, and analytical data handling software.

ACD/ChemSketch is also available as freeware, with functionalities that are highly competitive with other popular commercial software packages. The freeware contains tools for tautomer prediction, 2D structure cleaning, 3D optimization and viewing, drawing of polymers, organometallics, and Markush structures - capabilties which are not even included in some of the commercial packages from other software producers. Also included is an IUPAC systematic naming capability for molecules with fewer than 50 atoms and 3 rings. The capabilities of ACD/ChemSketch can be further extended and customized by programming.

The commercial version of ACD/ChemSketch offers numerous additional capabilities above and beyond the freeware offering. It includes a number of advanced features including a dictionary of 140,000 trivial, common, and trade names with their corresponding structures. It allows the user to transfer structures to a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) such as Palm or Pocket PC, search Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF reports, SDfiles, molfiles, and CambridgeSoft ChemDraw files by chemical structure, substructure, or structure similarity, and create 2D barcodes of structures and affiliated information.
