01

Point Group Determination

Automatically identifies the molecule’s symmetry point group and animates its symmetry operations.

  • Finds the point group of the loaded molecule
  • Animates rotations, reflections and other operations
  • Built-in point-group examples to explore
Chirality Detection

02

Chirality Detection

Determines whether a molecule is chiral or achiral, and compares it with its mirror image.

  • Places the molecule next to its mirror image
  • Checks whether the two can be superimposed
  • Includes chiral examples such as 2-Butanol, BINOL and Helicene
Vibrational Mode Analysis

03

Vibrational Mode Analysis

Displays the molecule’s vibrational modes as 3D animations.

  • Animates each normal mode
  • Shows how every atom moves
  • Helps connect theory with what you see
