point group symmetry
« on: February 21, 2008, 07:29:38 PM »
My inorganic chemistry professor mentioned in class about a website (or program? he was unclear) that allows you to easily input a molecule and it will give you the point group symmetry of it. Does anyone know where I could find this tool?


Thanks!

There is the Wulffman Software:  http://www.ctcms.nist.gov/wulffman/docs_1.2/

Per this article:  http://www.rsc.org/images/Tuvi-Gorsky%20final_tcm18-76281.pdf

There is also Molecular Symmetry On-Line:  http://telem.openu.ac.il/symmetry/

where you can download Symmetry ToolKit.

Yes, I can download symmetry toolkit, but it seems not work. How can I open this file? How to install chime? (there are three choices, if specify web browser, how can I do?)
