3D Printing of Molecular Models with Calculated Geometries and p Orbital Isosurfaces
Carroll, Felix A.; Blauch, David N.
Journal of Chemical Education, v94 n7 p886-891 Jul 2017
3D printing was used to prepare models of the calculated geometries of unsaturated organic structures. Incorporation of p orbital isosurfaces into the models enables students in introductory organic chemistry courses to have hands-on experience with the concept of orbital alignment in strained and unstrained p systems.
