Molecular Constructor

Interesting app, that does a surprising amount, especially for it’s size, but it desperately needs hydrogen/coordinate bonds, otherwise it can’t handle ammonium compounds or amine/metal complexes (metal glycinates as one example). I would think bond energies for both of those types of bonds could be handled with the same model. Yes, there is a lot of chemistry that doesn’t involve hydrogen or coordinate bonding, but this would be a tremendously useful addition to this app. As you may have guessed, much of my work involves organic metal complexes, so my views may be a little biased.

I am a high school student who wanted to do a cool visual of the dehydration of sucrose with sulfuric acid for my final. All the free apps I found were woefully insufficient, except yours!! Aaah! It has tons of atoms! I even made sucrose! Your program supports carbon rings! And VESPR theory! The molecules exhibit dipole-dipole forces when placed very close to each other! It gives data on your molecules! And you can save it! And rotate it in 3D, no glitching! Sulfur expands its octet! It's easy to use! Double and triple bonds! I can't wait to show my chemistry teacher! And clearly, you are consistently updating! A few things to make this app even more awesome: When I load a saved molecule, it deletes what I had on the screen. Could you make it keep what's already on the screen? It would help if, say, I wanted to pull up several large molecules without recreating each from scratch. Maybe adding an intermolecular forces mode that shows polarity? It would be really helpful for teachers, because that's typically a hard unit. Thanks!!!

It is hard to understand how the app functions at first, but playing around for a few minutes and it clicks. Has been helpful to only need my device and not a module kit.

I got this app to supplement my studies in college. I’m a neurobiology student and have a chemistry heavy course load. This app is the bomb! You can manually create molecular structures and bond angles but it also has a function to “shape” which will automatically simulate electron repulsion. Amazing study tool. AND IT’S FREE! Get it while you can.

I am a casual student of chemistry. I find this app to be easy to use, and the results look great. That you can access saved molecules outside of the app is a bonus.
