The visualization of complicated three dimensional Inorganic, Bioinorganic, and Solid State chemical structures is a particularly difficult problem for students to overcome when the primary means of communication is the two dimensional world of text books, blackboards, and overhead projector screens. Due to the increased performance and availability of personal computers, both instructors and students are beginning to embrace interactive multimedia as a means of communicating chemical information. The goal of this project is to provide on CD-ROM a wide variety of manipulatable molecular models, miniature movies, and dynamic animations that address the topics in Inorganic and Bioinorganic chemistry that will most benefit from a multimedia format. The free software Chem3D Viewer is being used to present a database of hundreds of accurate crystal structures that will benefit students and teachers at all levels who encounter inorganic structures. Stand alone tutorials that describe the use of the software and explain difficult structural concepts of inorganic chemistry are being produced. Dissemination of test versions will be via the Internet, followed by the complete version on CD-ROM, and evaluated by polling users at a variety of small and large institutions.

复杂的三维无机，生物无机和固态化学结构的可视化对于学生来说是一个特别困难的问题，当主要的通信手段是教科书，黑板和投影仪屏幕的二维世界时。 由于个人计算机的性能和可用性的提高，教师和学生都开始接受交互式多媒体作为交流化学信息的一种手段。 这个项目的目标是在CD-ROM上提供各种各样的可操纵的分子模型，微型电影和动态动画，这些动画涉及无机和生物无机化学的主题，这些主题将最受益于多媒体格式。 免费软件Chem 3D Viewer被用来呈现数百种精确晶体结构的数据库，这将使遇到无机结构的各级学生和教师受益。 正在制作描述软件使用和解释无机化学困难结构概念的独立教程。 将通过因特网传播测试版，然后用光盘传播完整版，并通过对各种大小机构的用户进行民意调查加以评价。
