Research ELN: NMR, a Structure Solver, and hands-free notes

A chemistry-native lab notebook that processes Bruker TopSpin 4 spectra, checks candidate structures against your evidence, and takes notes by voice at the bench (beta).

ChemIllusion Research ELN experiment page for a Fischer esterification, with the reaction, chemistry checks, and progress stages.

Join the educators, students, and researchers changing how chemistry is done.

Model-assisted, chemistry-validated

Use AI help when you want it — not as a replacement for chemical judgment.

Our AI tools are gated by deterministic chemistry checks. Suggestions are validated before they reach the canvas, so the assistant does not fabricate molecules.

See it on a real reaction: Professor Wiggum proposes steps, validates them, and rejects the ones that fail.

Watch a mechanism being found

Designed to sit beside your existing chemistry workflows.

Supports product, education, and scientific content workflows from one platform.

The same molecular context can power image generation, graphical abstracts, and guided learning.
