Molecular structures?

Featured Replies

Where could one find structure pictures for the bit more complex molecules? I mean, you can easily figure out a simple compound's structure but when there are like 20 carbons and dozens of other atoms involved, the chemical formula just isn't enough. :P I found Wikipedia to be a rather good source of such structures, but they aren't always featured for every compound. I became rather annoyed when I couldn't figure out myself what a hexamine molecule looks like (no YT, I don't want to manufacture it or anything :) ).

Thanks! Looks nice, even 3D models and all. Strangely, it said my Firefox is "a Netscape version we don't support". :P
