The Chem plugin enables seamless integration of chemistry into Obsidian by allowing users to render chemical structures directly from SMILES strings. It supports rendering both in code blocks and inline, with customizable scaling, theming, and export options. The plugin leverages powerful tools like Smiles Drawer and RDKit.js to generate precise chemical diagrams, making it ideal for researchers and students documenting chemical data. Additional features include integration with Dataview for dynamic queries and compatibility with various structure editors and translators. This plugin is a versatile tool for creating and managing chemistry-related notes in Obsidian.

The Chemical Structure Renderer plugin allows you to visualize chemical compounds directly within Obsidian notes by rendering SMILES notation as graphical chemical structures. By inserting SMILES strings into a code block tagged with 'smiles', the plugin generates and displays the corresponding molecular structures in the live preview mode. The plugin is powered by Ketcher and Indigo services, offering customizable settings for the rendered images and the ability to use a personal rendering server. This tool is ideal for users in fields like chemistry or biology who need to incorporate chemical structures into their notes seamlessly.
