ChemWindow is a chemical structure drawing molecule editor and publishing program now published by John Wiley & Sons as of 2020,[1] originally developed by Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.[2][3] It was first developed by SoftShell International in the 1990s.[4] Bio-Rad acquired this technology in 1996 and eventually made it part of their KnowItAll software product line, offering a specific ChemWindow edition of their software for structure drawing and publishing.[5] They have also incorporated ChemWindow structure drawing components into their KnowItAll spectroscopy software packages with their DrawIt, ReportIt, and MineIt tools.[6]
