New chemmacros module “polymers”
As of version 5.5 the chemmacros package includes a new module named polymers. Currently it mostly defines a few macros for usage in the \iupac command (provided by the mandatory nomenclature module) such as
chemmacros v5
I published version 5 of chemmacros nearly two months ago and so far the transition seems to have been a lot smoother than I anticipated. There have been a few support emails and posts on TeX/LaTeX stackexchange but nothing too serious.
a new chemmacros – but how?
I have written earlier about a new concept for chemmacros and about the current development of chemmacros. I really want to go along with e idea of modularity. In fact so much that I already have a draft completed (without manual and probably a number of bugs but still…). The …

Regardless how the discussion on modular chemmacros is going to end chemmacros eventually will be upgraded to v5.0. And there are going to be some changes:

Blog article series about LaTeX and chemistry
I have written a series of blog posts about chemistry and LaTeX in the German blog TeXwelt.de. The series covers the basics with chemmacros, reactions and formulae with chemformula and mhchem, skeletal formulae with chemfig, safety data, numbering of compounds, and special kinds of diagrams.

Cancelling compounds
Are you teaching chemistry and have ever had the need to show the addition of equations and the cancelling of compounds? Well, that’s not too complicated.
