Molecule Embeds

Obsidian plugin that renders SMILES strings as beautiful 2D skeletal molecular graphs, powered by RDKit.js.

• Black background, white bonds
• Heteroatoms coloured: O = red, N = blue, S = green
• Copy molecule as PNG with one click
• Works fully offline — no internet required

Usage

Paste a SMILES string in a code block:

```smiles
CC(=O)OC1=CC=CC=C1C(=O)O
```

Or use the command palette (Ctrl+P → Open molecule viewer), type SMILES and press Enter to embed it in the current note.
