Custom molecular graphics programs CHEM-RAY, CHARON, CAP and PROJECT have been developed here by Professor Joseph W. Lauher. CHEM-RAY, CHARON and PROJECT have been incorporated into the TEXSAN software package and are available for purchase from the Molecular Structure Corporation.
Sample CHEM-RAY images are shown in the following selections:
Molecular structure determinations of organic, inorganic and organometallic compounds are carried out on a routine basis. CHEM-RAY pictures of some recent results from the Molecular Structure Laboratory are shown below:
The crystal structure of the urea of aminohexanoic acid. This view shows three
layers edge on. Each layer consists of a beta-network of molecules held
together by hydrogen bonds. This molecule was synthesized and the structure
determined by Dr. Leticia Toledo, a postdoctoral student in the Fowler/Lauher
research group.
Color Codes: (C-turquoise; H-white; N-blue; O-red)
This molecule is the lithium salt of a tripodal amine synthesized by Dr. Lutz
Gade of the University of Wuerzburg and members of his research group.
The structure was determined at Stony
Brook by Professor Joseph W. Lauher.
Color Codes: (C-turquoise; H-white; Li-green; N-blue; Si-purple)
A tin sulfide from the laboratory of Professor John Parise. Structure by David Nellis.
Color Codes: (Sn-red; S-yellow)
