ACD/ChemSketch

From NMR Wiki

Overview:

ACD/ChemSketch is a chemically intelligent drawing interface that allows you to draw almost any chemical structure including organics, organometallics, polymers, and Markush structures. It can be used to produce professional looking structures and diagrams for reports and publications. The 3D optimization is based on modified molecular mechanics which take into account bond stretching, angle bending, internal rotation, and Van der Waals non-bonded interactions.

Information on the freeware version and an ActiveX version are available from the websites listed below.
