What's New in ChemDraw 8

---

ChemDraw 8 is enhanced by the following features:

• Completely rewritten Struct=Name-Generate systematic names for chemical structures, including comprehensive support for the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog (CIP) rules for absolute stereochemistry (R, S, E, Z, etc). See "Adding Chemical Names".
• Floating periodic table and character map-Keep information about all elements at your fingertips. It's now even easier to create labeled atoms and to add special characters from any font with ease. See "Periodic Table"and "Character Map".
• Improved Carbon-13 NMR predictions-Shift values are, on average, more than twice as accurate as before. See "NMR Shift Information-ChemNMR".
• Improved Proton NMR predictions-Splitting patterns make predicted spectra look more like real-life. See "NMR Shift Information-ChemNMR".
• TLC Plate tool- Easily depict Thin Layer Chromatography plates within a ChemDraw document. See "The TLC Tool".
• Structure perspective- Rotate molecules and add perspective. See "Structure Perspective".
• 3D query features- Create pharmacophore queries with 3D constraints for searching in 3D-enabled databases. See "3D Properties".
• Mass fragmentation tool- Quickly examine potential Mass Spectra fragment patterns by drawing lines across breaking bonds. See "Mass Fragmentation Tool".
• Enhanced chemical intelligence- including multistep reaction interpretation and layout, and isotopic abundance atom property. See "Atom-to-Atom Mapping" and "Isotopic Abundance".
• Typo recognition in Name=Struct- Name=Struct batch utility contains extensive typo recognition and correction. See "Converting Names to Structures".
• New attachment point depictions-for solid phase synthesis and parent structures. See "Attachment Points".
