How To: Explore Molecules and Create Eye-Catching Graphics with Mercury

In this video, you can learn how to use the core functionality of Mercury to explore the features of molecules and crystal structures and find out how to generate high quality, visually attractive images suitable for use in reports, publications and presentations. This video covers selecting CSD structures, choosing display styles, investigating intermolecular interactions, measuring distances and angles, and producing high-resolution pictures. In this video: -00:04 Introduction -00:22 Selecting a structure from the CSD -00:49 Moving and magnifying a structure in the 3D viewer -01:23 Changing molecular display styles -02:13 Viewing crystal packing and slices of a crystal structure -03:12 Exploring intermolecular interactions: customising hydrogen bond definitions -04:36 Measuring geometric parameters -05:28 Exporting high-quality graphics using the POV-Ray feature For an explanation of Anisotropic Displacement Parameters (mentioned in the context of the Ellipsoid display style) see CCDC’s DECOR resources: go to https://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/community/... and select “Thermal Ellipsoids/ADPs” using the “Topic” filter.
