What is Mercury FOR MAC?

Mercury

Mercury is a super handy tool for macOS that helps you visualize and explore 3D structures. It's perfect if you're diving into crystal packing or analyzing research data from the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD).

Easy-to-Use Interface

The Mercury app comes with a simple and intuitive user interface. This means you can quickly access lots of tools designed specifically for crystal structure analysis without getting lost in complicated menus.

Create Packing Diagrams Effortlessly

With Mercury, making packing diagrams is a breeze! You can easily cut through the crystal from different angles and visualize Miller planes. It's like having a powerful lab right on your computer!

Explore Inter-Molecular Contacts

You can use Mercury to build and investigate complex networks of inter-molecular contacts. This helps you understand how these structures work and what makes them strong or weak. Plus, it identifies the interactions that influence crystal packing.

Display Symmetry Elements

Another cool feature? Mercury can show space-group symmetry elements, calculate voids, and even display inter-molecular potentials. This gives you a clearer picture of the entire structure!

Molecule-Based Calculations

If you're into molecule-based gas phase calculations, Mercury has got your back! You can also visualize ConQuest substructure searches with customizable geometric parameters.

Create Stunning 3D Images

The best part is that thanks to all these features, you can create high-quality 3D images in no time! And when you're done, exporting them to various image formats is quick and simple.

Ray-Traced Images with POV-Ray

If you want to take things up a notch, Mercury lets you generate high-quality ray-traced images using the open-source POV-ray tool. This free utility creates realistic renderings using text-based figure descriptions from Mercury.

Your Go-To Tool for Crystal Visualization

In short, Mercury is an awesome 3D visualizer and analyzer for crystals packed with tools to make exploring their details super easy!
