BKchem is a free chemical drawing program. BKchem was concieved and written by Beda Kosata.

BKchem is written in Python, an interpreted and very nice programming language.

Here are some key features of "BKchem":
Drawing

  • bond-by-bond drawing
  • bond lenght and angle restrictions to assist with the drawing
  • ready to use templates of common rings
  • ability to expand common groups from abbreviated to structural form
  • radicals, charges...
  • arrows
  • rich text
  • color support
  • simple vector graphics (rectangles, circles, polygons etc.)

    Editing

  • unlimited undo and redo capabilities
  • aligning
  • scaling
  • rotation (2D, 3D)
  • aligning of molecules so that particular bond is horizontal/vertical
  • rotation of molecular fragments around bonds (conformation changes)
  • definition of personal preferred drawing style (bond lenghts, widths, colors...)

    Export

  • full export to SVG (native data are transparently embedded into SVG file)
  • full export to OpenOffice Draw format
  • full export to Encapsulated PostScript
  • basic support for both CML1 and CML2
  • Molfiles
  • generation of SMILES

    Import

  • basic support for both CML1 and CML2
  • Molfiles
  • SMILES (subset)
  • INChI (subset)

    Other features

  • localization support (currently English, French, Czech and Polish translations are available)
  • native format is XML based
  • validity checking of drawn structures

    What's New in 0.11.6 Stable Release:
  • In this release, two major bugs were fixed: one in the German translation (causing a crash when a file was saved) and one in the OpenOffice export plugin.
  • A few other minor bugs were also fixed.

    What's New in 0.12.0_01 Development Release:
  • This preview release features several functionality enhancements, such as a transparent background for PNG export, support for a real minus character instead of a hyphen, and many smaller changes.
  • It also brings fixes to several bugs.
    tags support for  full export  cml2 molfiles  and cml2  bugs were  cml1 and  for both  basic support  drawing bond  both cml1
