RPluto is a tool for visualising molecular crystal structures, its features include:

• A range of input file formats (CSD FDAT, SHELX and CIF formats)
• Data typed in free-format style (i.e. from file or keyboard), which may be useful for comparing current work with examples from the CSD
• Display of both molecular and packing diagrams
• Intra- and intermolecular geometric analysis
• Rendering of diagrams in wireframe or solid ball-and-stick style
• Preparation of plots for reports and publications
• Interactive method for exploration of intermolecular packing in detail, particularly H-bonded networks, and assignment of graph set notation automatically to many such patterns.
• Full online documentation is also available

RPluto can be downloaded free of charge as pre-compiled executables, solely for non-commercial use as described in the Conditions of Use.

As a free service, CCDC may be unable to provide support for RPluto.
