ACD/Labs Provides Chemists with New Affordable Naming Software
Advanced Chemistry Development, Inc., (ACD/Labs) is pleased to announce the release of their new software, ACD/Name Chemist Version, offering versatile chemical drawing, editing, and reporting functions, paired with the industry-standard nomenclature algorithms for IUPAC name generation and name-to-structure conversion.
ACD/Name Chemist Version combines the user-friendly drawing interface of ACD/ChemSketch, used by over half a million chemists worldwide, with the powerful IUPAC naming capabilities of ACD/Name. With the unsurpassed chemical intelligence and editing capabilities of ACD/ChemSketch, chemists can quickly format structures and their names, along with any other text, reaction schemes, graphs, and images, to produce professional reports, posters, and presentations. Included with ACD/ChemSketch is structure-searchable ACD/Dictionary, containing over 140,000 trade, trivial, system, and non-systematic names to simplify structure search and drawing.
With the introduction of ACD/Name Chemist Version, chemists can now rely on a quality naming software package, at a fraction of the cost of ACD/Name. ACD/Name Chemist Version is recommended for chemists who need reliable IUPAC naming, but do not require access to detailed explanations of the systematic naming generation, Index (CAS) names, and a variety of option settings – all of which are functionalities that are available in ACD/Name, a tool for a nomenclature specialist.
Antony Williams, VP and Chief Science Officer for ACD/Labs, states, “ACD/Name has become the de facto standard for nomenclature specialists over the past decade. Our commitment to providing improved support for IUPAC conventions version to version is indicative of our passion for systematic nomenclature. With ACD/Name Chemist Version we are providing access to our naming algorithms at a very affordable price for all chemists to utilize in their work.”
