Now Selling the Molymod® Molecular Model University /
College set in Australia - Art.Nr. MMS-051

The University Student Set has a specification designed to cover the essential stereochemistry principles of a higher level qualification such as Degree for university or college students.

This molecular model set can represent the following types of study;

• Optical iosmerism
  • Optical images of each other.
• Positional isomerism
  • Position of the non-carbon group rises to more than 1 option.
• Skeletal isomerism
  • Carbon skeleton back bone differences.
• Functional group
  • Same formula different functional group.
• Geometric
  • Rotation along a bond is impossible.
• Conformational
  • Free rotation about the carbon-carbon single bond.
• Five hole carbon
  • These can be used to show the intermediary stages of Hydrolysis.
• Butadienes
  • Orbital explaination of thermal cyclization of butadienes.

Why Molymod®?

Molymod® offers a terrific combination of sturdy components and flexible model styles. Atoms are made of solid coloured plastic spheres, from 17mm - 23mm in diameter. They are available with holes from 1 - 6 in the usual angular orientations.

The Bonds are also solid plastic and come in varying legths to build models of different scales.

Closed molymod models

Space filling style using very short links.

Open molymod models

Using two lengths of links,a standard rigid link for bonds and a longer flexible link for double and triple bonds.

Dual scale molymod models

Using the same atom parts but different lengths of links.
