ChemistryLaTeX by Quintessen

ChemistryLaTeX automatically replaces chemistry text like, IUPAC names, Proteins and minerals, on any webpage, into interactive 2D and 3D chemical structure visualizations, using a regex format like math LaTeX, LLMs use to teach you chemistry and bio

About this extension
ChemistryLaTeX is a Chrome extension for students and LLM-assisted chemistry workflows. Right-click any text, like “benzene” or an IUPAC name, to instantly render a 2D bond-line diagram or switch to 3D view no drawing, searching, or switching tools needed.

Supports organic molecules, minerals, enzymes, proteins, and viruses. LLMs can trigger inline rendering using simple markup like chem:mol=toluene: similar to how MathJax displays math.

Key features:
  • Organic chemistry rendered as bond-line diagrams with customizable options (aromatic rings, carbons, methyl groups, implicit/explicit hydrogens, etc.)
  • One-click 3D rendering for molecules
  • Enzymes, proteins, and viruses rendered from RCSB (2D or 3D, including biological assemblies)
  • Minerals rendered with their 3D lattice structures
  • Optional AI-controlled rendering flags (useful for teaching concepts like nomenclature)
  • SVG caching and lazy loading for performance

Customization: Dark mode, Multiple themes and Fine-grained rendering controls

It’s completely free to use, Please consider supporting the project to help upgrade the server and fund further development.
