chemmacros – A collection of macros to support typesetting chemistry documents

The bundle offers a collection of macros and commands which are intended to make typesetting chemistry documents faster and more convenient. Coverage includes some nomenclature commands, oxidation numbers, thermodynamic data, newman projections, etc.

The package relies on the following supporting packages:

  • chemformula, providing a command for typesetting chemical formulae and reactions (doing a similar task to that of mhchem);
  • chemgreek, offering support for use of greek letters; and
  • ghsystem, providing for the UN globally harmonised chemical notation.

The packages are written using current versions of the experimental 3 coding conventions and the 3 support packages.
