- Clicking the atom selects it
- Clicking on 2 atoms, joins them by a bond
- Clicking on a bond, toggles the bond type
- Clicking on a view port, locks and unlocks it from movement
- Double clicking a bond, removes it
- Double clicking an atom, removes it and its bonds
- Lock/ Unlock atoms to their position if needed.
- Hide/ Show atoms if needed.
- Drag and Resizing of molemethaneculecule container
- Option to Export molecule as a PNG image
- Configurable forces, constants of force directed graph for the molecule
- Configurable style parameters for canvas, atoms, bonds
- Visualize organic chemical structures based on IUPAC conventions.
- Molecule Reaction components
- Loading examples directly from standard notations like SMILE
- 3-D support
Check out an example here. Demo
Download d3-molecule using npm.
npm install d3-molecule --save-dev
cd d3-molecule
npm install
To use this library then, simply include d3.js, jquery, Molecule.js and Molecule.css:
<script src="/path/to/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="/path/to/d3.min.js"></script>
<link href="/path/to/dist/css/Molecule.css">
<script src="/path/to/dist/js/Molecule.js"></script>
To use this library, you must create a container element and instantiate a new Molecule:
<div id="container"></div>

var data = {
"nodes": [
{
"id": 0,
"atom": "Mg",

- The new module IUPACname.js adds functionality of searching organic compounds using IUPAC names.
- This library allows you to add the side groups including methyl, ethyl and propyl on the main chain.
- Note that the library doesn't cover all names for organic compounds.
Organic Compounds |

- The maximum number of carbon is 12.
- The double bond, triple bond, -OH, -C=O- are at the end of the main chain.
- The amide is always primary amide.
- More diverse functionality will be updated.
