Warning
This section is in the process of being migrated from the original Avogadro documentation. Some instructions and screenshots may be out of date.
Avogadro is intended not only for molecular modeling research, but also for educational use. This category is intended to help educators around the world find lessons and tips for using Avogadro 2 in teaching chemistry. If you have an exercise or article that you would like to list here, please get in touch via Avogadro Discussion.
Publications#
A variety of web resources and journal articles have been published for using Avogadro, ranging from computational chemistry and cheminformatics, to materials, spectroscopy, reaction mechanisms, and 3D printing.
For ideas, see the list of articles
