Z-Matrix to Cartesian Coordinate
Conversion Page

Use this page to create a Z-matrix and convert it to Cartesian Coordinates for use in the ChemViz Program. This form permits you to convert a Z-matrix composed of 3 to 25 atoms. If you have more than 25 atoms, you should consider the use of a molecular editor.

A help file is available in a separate window. It can also be located at http://www.shodor.org/chemviz/babelex.html.

You can look at an example run for acetaldehyde to see what a sample run looks like.
