In summary, the conversation is about drawing a pentagon with a semicircle in it using software such as Isis Draw and ChemDraw Ultra. The speaker is seeking help on how to draw this representation in a professional way, as it is commonly used in journals. They mention that ChemDraw Ultra has a template for a pentagon with a full circle, but they are looking for a way to automatically draw a semicircle inside the pentagon.
