Ray tracing — Chemistry

by François de Dardel




Here a few organic molecules and crystal structures drawn with the POV ray-tracing tool. The "building blocks" (atoms) are simple, but the arrangement in space of the bigger compounds is not straightforward. I had to review my geometry and trigonometry. And just in case you didn't guess, I am a chemist...

Click on each thumbnail to see the larger image and some comments.

Colour code of the atoms:
Carbon = C, Hydrogen = H, Oxygen = O, Nitrogen = N, Chlorine = Cl, Sulphur = S, Phosphorus = P, Silicium = Si, Metal = Metal.
