![]() We used additional stencils with a wider variety of polygons than Fieser's template. Fortunately Princeton then allowed theses to be photocopied from typed manuscripts which made life easier for my wife (who typed my thesis) and I. Robert BuntrockĮducated in the late '50s and mid '60s, structures for "finished" work or theses were drawn with hetero atoms typed in. The advent of computer based drawing programs changed a lot but still do not prevent strange choices of fonts, spacing and placement on pages. All of these templates had to have a set of spacers connected to the back of them to keep ink from the pens from running under the template. Seyferth and distributed by Alpha/Ventron. I used KOH-I-NOOR Rapidograph pens and lettering set (still available) and a plastic template that had various shapes cut into it. Stille's group in the mid 60's, I made a lot of cash drawing structures for many theses. thesis, finished in 1974, I had a friend of mine who was a graphic artist draw the structures. Before ChemDraw, there was no suitable application. Yes I do! I used Version 1 on my Mac in the mid 80's. ChemDraw was an integral part of the work we did and continues to be. Yes, some time using draftsmen and then with rub off stencils sold by Aldrich, which is what I used for my Ph.D. How cheers to ChemDraw as all these issues are things of past now Ganesan Vaidyanathan Slide making was also difficult as the option to color them as per the requirement was not possible. As there were little option to resize the structures we either drew the structure sitting next to the typist or saw to it that all schemes were placed on a separate page. The bigger problem arose when the structures were to be incorporated in the thesis because their placement required appropriate space in a document being typed on electronic typewriter. Although placing the structures symmetrically was an issue I resolved it by placing two templates perpendicular to each other. Being good in arts and drawing I quickly learnt the art of drawing the chemical structures using the templates and Stredler pen. Sanjay Batraĭrawing the chemical structures before we started using ChemDraw was little cumbersome. I found a program (I don't remember the name) that remapped the keyboard so I could draw chemical structures, somewhat crudely, until I bought a Macintosh and Chemintosh in the early nineties. In the mid 80's, we had purchased an Atari home computer, that I used to write exams, but had to hand draw all of the chemical structures. Thanks Stewart and CambridgeSoft! Bruce Hathaway I can recall the use of Rotring pens and Letraset but I prefer using my Macs to produce vector graphics. I've used Chem(Bio)Draw since 1988 coauthoring two editions of a textbook on Organic Chemistry and a website ChemTube3D using the software. ![]() I was able to use CD to make complex chemical reaction kinetics schemes, and my first contribution to the literature was a scheme I made for a paper by Nelson DeLeon and Clay Marston ( J. There was a copy which could be used at a common terminal, a Mac Plus, in the NMR lab, with even (gasp) a *laser printer.* As a physical chemist, ChemDraw might not seem all that essential to me - but its arrow templates were a huge boon. I was one of the graduate students at Yale that benefited from Stu Schreiber's early buyin to ChemDraw. Dylan Bleierĭrawing large 3D organic molecules without ChemDraw is brutal and slow.
