Good Computer Program for Chemical Structures & Equations

Click For Summary
The discussion centers around finding effective computer programs for creating chemical structures and equations. A user mentions www.orgsyn.org as a frustrating option. They share several alternatives, including a chemical reagent calculator available for $25, and CambridgeSoft ChemOffice Ultra, which offers a free trial but can cost up to $3000. Additional suggestions include "Atoms, Bonding and Structure v2.0," a link to chemistry software resources, and ACD Labs, which offers freeware. A final recommendation is "Chem Sketch," highlighted as a free and suitable tool for the task. The conversation emphasizes the need for user-friendly software in chemistry.

anyone know of any good computer programs used to make chemical structures and equations? i know of www.orgsyn.org but it's really a pain in the ass to use.

EDIT: fixed the link, there was a comma in the way

I haven't heard of such program. But I just wanted to say that the link didn't work...or do the mentors have to check it first?
 
You might see if any of this stuff is suitable;

chemical reagent calculator:

Shareware ($25)


cambridgesoft chemoffice ultra:

Various versions from 2-week limited free trial to around $3000 US.

[edit]
I'll just keep throwing in stuff I find which may or may not be of any use.

Atoms, Bonding and Structure v2.0
