Using the Jmol viewer (PDF version)

You can manipulate these molecules by following the instructions below:

To adjust size, location, and orientation:

• Size: Hold down the shift key and drag over the molecule.
• Location: Hold down the shift key, double-click, and drag the molecule. (Reset by shift-double-clicking away from the molecule.)
• Orientation: Drag the mouse around inside the molecule window.

To bring up a popup menu:

• Click on the Jmol in the lower right corner or "Right click" for anywhere in the molecule window .

  The menu options will allow you to display the model several different ways. You should experiment with as many of these menu commands as you like, but make sure to try every option under the "Render->Scheme" menu. If you choose "Stereo Display->cross-eyed" you will see two molecules. If you make them overlap by either crossing your eyes or looking "through" the monitor you can see a 3D version of the molecule.

To measure distances:

• - Double-click on one of the atoms, and then hover over another atom.
• - To make the measurement permanent, double-click on the second atom.
• - To cancel the measurement, move the mouse outside of the molecule window.

To measure Angles:

• - Double-click on the first atom (not the middle of three atoms making the angle).
• - Click on the second atom.
• - Hover over the third atom. To make the angle permanent, double-click on the third atom.
• - To cancel the measurement, move the mouse outside of the molecule window.
