Queries on available graphics software for comparing similar structures have been pseudo-common on the sci.techniques.xtallography newsgroup. So I thought it might be useful to post about a new feature in the CrystMol software for Mac and MS-Windows by David Duchamp:
http://www.crystmol.com/ CrystMol can visually compare potentially similar molecules from different structure files, or within the same structure where Z' is greater than 1; as well as proteins. People comparing polymorphs, or a chemically similar series of structures, could find this very beneficial and time saving. Molecules can be compared automatically; using a point and click menu; or via the CrystMol scripting system. RMS differences are also listed. Lachlan. -- ----------------------- Lachlan M. D.
