Oganic Chemistry Stencil Drawing MoleculeTemplate

When you have as big a gap between your drawing skills and desired chemical perfectionism as I do, you don't get far free-handing structures before succumbing to shame and spite for hexagons. This stencil lets you pump structures out perfectly (which it turns out feels pretty good) and is easy and relatively quick to use once you get a slight hang of the faster ways to chain its elements together. Thanks to this stencil, through both the sketching process and the perfect finished product, I found myself much more able to commit structures drawn only once to long-term memory, my mind liberated from the need to actively "correct" my free-hand drawings, or visualize them without their incongruities while suppressing personal frustration at a putatively simple geometric task. This stencil slides neatly into the pocket of any binder, folder, divider, et cetera, it's as portable as the paper you'll be using it on. As far as features that could be improved on (or compensated for by customers with other stencils), I do wish it included a handful of the most common elements' letters/symbols, so I could for example incorporate a nitrogen atom without the N looking inferior to the rest of the immaculate molecule. It would also be nice if the plastic was slightly more transparent, since you're often depending on seeing through it without the benefit of a hole (or enough of them) to align it just right when making a benzene/phenyl group, for example. Not that those are dealbreakers, it's still perfectly usable and you'll only feel slowed down if you're going nuts on perfectionism, it would just make it easier in less-than-perfect light conditions. Anyways, I'd recommend this to a friend and my classmates have enjoyed borrowing mine.

This is one of best tools I've ever gotten for chemistry. It's flexible and durable. I use it all the time in class and in my lab journal. Unlike some other reviews, my stencil has excellent clean-cut edges all around. The thing I like about it (aside from keeping everything neat) is that it enables me to make the structures quickly and keep up with the lecture. If I draw them on my own it can take too long and I either miss stuff or I use entirely too much paper. I find this stencil very convenient for my needs. My professors saw it and asked where they could get one. The only way they could improve on it is if they made it in a slightly larger version for older professors who like to see larger drawings. If you're taking orgo, you don't need that special octagon writing tablet or graphing paper, this is all you need. This stencil works like a charm.

I always wanted an organic chemistry notebook, and after a small search on amazon, I found it and its great, but to make it even better and neater I wondered if there will be a ruler too. And magic!!! There was! So I purchased this as well. Pros: - Has not only the hexagonal and pentagonal forms, but also molecular configurations and angles and some other great things! - Is very flexible and will not break anytime soon.. - The quality seems pretty good Cons: - The price is a bit too high for a ruler. Overall I really like it and recommend to all ochem students! If anything changes in my opinion will update the review!

My favorite of the two ochem stencils that I purchased for note-taking, report-writing, and test-taking. The chair conformations are extremely helpful. I can draw everything by hand faster, but this stencil helps keep things neat and legible. This was great for lab reports as well. I like how thin this stencil is–it's so easy to use with a mechanical pencil and pens. (My mechanical pencil would get caught on thicker stencils.) I thought it was pricey when I initially purchased it, but it is well worth the price. I used it for one year of ochem, and hopefully I'll continue to use it as I further my studies in chemistry.

Very handy for neater notes, timed exams, and drawing planar rings viewed from another angle (besides flat, aerial). HOWEVER, you'll find that you're drawing the structures so often by freehand that the stencil is only really used when you have the time to indulge in "prettier" drawings. ALSO, the staggered/eclipse and stereochemistry wedge/dash cutouts take too much time to bother with the stencil. Often times, I find I'd rather have larger cutouts for the more commonly used structures—i.e. bigger cyclo rings, since these are too small and any large structures, attached chains, and functional groups on a cyclo are always crammed together. Still, handy to have, but not totally necessary or as efficient as I originally thought.

This has really helped me to draw reactions accurately for organic chemistry

It is nearly everything you want in an Organic stencil. It makes homework and notes neater, it makes formulas easier to read. A must have for those who not only want neatness, but also for laziness. This is an ochem student's pipe dream stencil. It has made drawing carbon chains and chair orientations like a breeze. Thin, durable, and portable; it is everything you could hope for in a ochem stencil.

This is a great stencil if you have to draw a lot of reaction mechanisms. The plastic is pretty thin but is tough. I think this makes it lighter and more flexible, which is probably better for putting in a folder with some papers, or in the side pocket of a binder. A little bit pricey for what it is, but it pays for itself by virtue of how much nicer my molecules look vs. hand-drawn.

Lo stencil è ben fatto sebbene un po' costoso

+ nützlich, Formelzeichnen geht nun sauberer und flotter als aus der frein Hand

Great

É um bom gabarito. Atende as necessidades básicas do desenho de estruturas. Bom para ter na contracapa do caderno de laboratório para ilustrar as anotações.

Great stencil! Wish I got it earlier in my school life. Made all those tedious drawings in my notebook to look much prettier and legible and saved me lots of time for actual studying the reaction mechanisms. Recommended to all chemistry students.
