Chemical Drawing Programs
Free (at least for academics)
Fee (prices are for individual student)
Complicated
- Chemaxon Marvin, etc. Chemaxon offers a large number of products, suites, add ons, etc. and apparently pricing is not shown until you register, login, and initiate the download process. The academic license (free?) seems to be set up more for teachers and researchers rather than students, although apparently an approved teacher license includes their undergraduate classes.
Reviews and Listings
