hermanntrude Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 for a report like that, you'd be better off drawing the complex in a chemical drawing software of some kind. My favourite was always chemdraw... not cheap but worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalroyber Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Hey, I know, I use ChemDraw too. The point is, that I want to put the formula directly in the text and not seperated with a .eps picture. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanntrude Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I don't think that'd going to be possible without modifying a font for yourself. Even then, I think a character has a maximum width Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zheng sheng ming Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 So, in my quest to make LaTeX more useful on the forums, I stumbled upon the mhchem package. Basically, it allows you to very easily typeset chemical formuae and reactions. For example: [ce]CO2 + C -> 2CO[/ce] This looks great, and it's not complex either: to see the text I used to generate it, click on the image. Instead of using the [math] tag, we use the [ce] tag for chemical equations. Also, you can put things above the line, like so: [ce]CO2 + C ->[text{heat}] 2CO[/ce] Here's a few more examples to whet your appetite: [ce]CO2 + C <=> 2CO[/ce] [ce]H+ + OH- <=>> H2O[/ce] [ce]SO4^2- + Ba^2+ -> BaSO4 v[/ce] If you want to typeset an individual molecule, such as [ce]H2SO4[/ce], the [ce] tag can handle it easily. You can do some of the following things as well: [ce](NH4)2S[/ce] [ce]NO3-[/ce] Hope you find it useful; I'll post again in a little while. [Important note: Some posts in this thread have LaTeX that does not display correctly. This is because they used the old method of displaying chemical equations. The new method, the [ce] tag, is now the only way that works.] yes , it is great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comsian Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) hi you can put the formula easily by using mathdraw it have some basic feactures present in camdrwa, then you donot need to use structures draw in camdraw to put in you assignment or thesis. if you need further help dont hasitate saadia Edited December 9, 2010 by swansont remove link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
