Build and view molecules in 3D, visualize orbitals, and calculate properties.

Features & Capabilities

WebMO is a versatile Chrome extension designed for students and faculty in high school through graduate levels, offering powerful tools to build and view molecules in three dimensions. Users can create molecular structures by drawing or voice commands, then optimize them using VSEPR theory or molecular mechanics. It provides detailed visualization of Huckel molecular orbitals, electron density, electrostatic potential, and symmetry elements.

Beyond building molecules, WebMO facilitates chemical information retrieval, accessing databases like PubChem, ChemSpider, NIST, and Sigma-Aldrich for molecular data and spectral information including IR, UV-VIS, NMR, and mass spectra. It also supports high-resolution image capture, local saving, and structure sharing via email. Additionally, as a front-end to WebMO servers, it integrates multiple computational chemistry programs such as Gaussian, GAMESS, and ORCA, enabling submission, monitoring, and visualization of complex molecular properties and spectra directly within the extension.

User Reviews

Users appreciate WebMO for its quick and accessible molecular modeling capabilities, clean UI, and useful features for learning symmetry and performing electron density calculations. However, multiple reviews highlight issues with molecular geometry accuracy, limited computational engine choices, app crashes on complex calculations, and usability concerns like frequent settings resets and poor handling of input errors. Overall, the app is valued but requires improvements in accuracy, stability, and user experience.

Pros

Great for quick molecular modeling and visualization on mobile devices.
Intuitive and clean user interface making it simple to use.
Helpful for learning molecular symmetry and point groups.
Offers advanced features like electrostatic potential and electron density calculations in the premium version.
Useful for both novices and more experienced users in chemistry and molecular modeling.

Cons

Auto-geometry cleanup and molecular structure accuracy need improvement, as some molecular geometries are not depicted correctly.
Computational engine options are limited or restricted, with some users unable to choose different engines beyond Mopac.
App crashes or instability when performing complex calculations like vibrational analysis on larger molecules.
Settings reset frequently, causing inconvenience to users.
Input import functionality lacks helpful error correction or suggestions for misspelled molecular names.

Recent reviews

Great for on-the-fly molecular modeling if you need a level of theory to direct your imagination about a reaction scheme or more deeply understanding a structure, and also just plain cool to have a molecular modeler in your pocket. Definitely worth the premium upgrade to model larger molecules.
