Jmol is a free, open source molecule viewer for students, educators, and researchers in chemistry and biochemistry. It is cross-platform, running on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux/Unix systems. It is a relatively light and fast viewer for output from various computational codes. It reads output files from ADF (molecule geometry and molecular vibrations), Gaussian, Jaguar and NWChem, amongst others. It is strictly a viewer, and the newer versions of the program cannot even save simple XYZ-coordinates of the viewed molecule (version 9 still can). The program does allow you to save jpg-pictures and it generates input-files for POVRAY so you can get publication-quality pictures. It does require SUN java 1.4 or later to be installed on the computer, it does not work properly with GNU Java.

Jmol version 9 is currently installed on KIMIK. Current release, available from the Jmol website is version 11.2.23
