Featured Molecules from 2009
These interactive images are linked to molecular structures or other graphic images from articles in our print Journal. Many articles in the Journal of Chemical Education include molecular structures—naturally in a two-dimensional representation. This collection of interactive structures are chosen from some of these molecules. While many such Web-based structure collections exist, having the structures in a single location and linked to specific articles in JCE (and vice versa) will benefit both teachers and students.

In addition to the static images, fully manipulable Jmol versions are available.
