SUMMARY

The Physicsforums discussion highlights the introduction of LaTeX typesetting for complex chemical equations, significantly improving clarity over traditional notation. Users can now easily format equations like the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation and the Michaelis-Menten equation using LaTeX commands. Key features include subscripts, superscripts, and delimiters for grouping text. The tutorial and additional resources are available at this link.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of LaTeX syntax and commands
  • Familiarity with chemical notation and equations
  • Basic knowledge of typesetting principles
  • Access to LaTeX software such as MiKTeX
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore advanced LaTeX commands for chemical typesetting
  • Learn about the use of \mathrm{} for non-italicized text in equations
  • Research how to create custom LaTeX commands for efficiency
  • Investigate additional LaTeX packages for enhanced functionality
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, educators, and researchers looking to improve the presentation of chemical equations in documents and online forums.

Let's face it - it is not chemical forums, it is PHYSICS forums.

Hi Borek. Ok, I have found a wonderful alternative: chemfig. Here for example is the code to draw in LaTex, a very nice caffeine molecule:

\chemfig[][scale=0.5]{[:30]O=C*6(-N(-CH_3)-C*5(-N=C-N(-CH_3)-)=C-C(=O)=N(-CH_3)-)}

So what I'll do is simply write what I want in LaTex and just post the PDF file. :)

Just learned to a few minutes ago. Not too hard. Just follow the chemfig user manual. Here it is in PDF for those interested:
