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.
A few weeks ago Shinsaku Fujita submitted a new update of XyMTeX to CTAN. Why is this worth mentioning? Because of two (or three) reasons:
