Molecular Model Set for Organic Chemistry

I conduct conformational analysis workshops at a well-respected British university, and this set has made my life so much easier with its space-filling, ultra-short bonds and its many links and atoms. It is absolutely great to feel how the transition from a chair to a boat causes mechanical strain on the space-filling models, as this among other things makes the students wonder why chairs are normally favoured. It is overwhelmingly satisfying to manipulate the models, as it is to assemble and take them apart. Even my 6 year-old daughter had a go at building water... and liked it a lot.Crucial detail: very much like LEGO kits, this includes a tool for removing links - handy if working with the shorter ones!

Excellent kit, this is really going to help with my coursework :-)

all good

Good value. Short bonds can be a little tricky to remove, so don't lose the included tool!

Great basic modelling kit

This set is very easy to assemble and quite enjoyable

One of the best looking Chemistry model sets I've seen, definitely a lot prettier than the ones my uni sells. A lot less bonds and atoms compared to my uni's set though (but this is probably because this set is specifically for organic chemistry, but still), and not as flexible (especially when trying to convert between chair and boat structure of 6-membered rings). Overall, a good set for beginners in organic chemistry.Contents: 1 instruction booklet, 28 white H, 14 black C, 8 red O, 4 blue N, 8 green Cl, 2 orange Br, 2 purple I, 40 open model single bonds, 40 space-filling model single bonds, 12 open model double/triple bonds

This was the best investment I've made in recent years. Has helped me with my degree course no end. Having used a similar set in uni I knew I needed one for myself, especially as the ones in uni are not always complete.
