\begin{itemize}
\item In these slides we show how write\LaTeX{} can be used with standard chemistry packages to easily create professional presentations.
\item Feel free to adapt and use this example for your own work, but please keep the referral to write\LaTeX{} in the code comments.
\item For more help on using \LaTeX{}, see the links on the write\LaTeX{} help page: \url{www.writelatex.com/help}

\subsection{The chemistry packages}
\begin{frame}{The chemistry packages}
We focus on two \LaTeX{} chemistry packages:
\begin{block}{The \texttt{chemfig} package}
This package provides the command which draws molecules. Created by Christian Tellechea, a detailed user guide can be found here:\\[0.4cm]
\small{\url{www.tex.ac.uk/ctan/macros/generic/chemfig/chemfig_doc_en.pdf}}
\end{block}
\begin{block}{The \texttt{mhchem} package}
The \texttt{mhchem} package provides simple commands for typesetting chemical molecular formulae and equations. Created by Martin Hensel, a detailed user guide can be found here:\\[0.4cm]
\small{\url{http://mirror.ox.ac.uk/sites/ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mhchem/mhchem.pdf}}
\end{block}
% The LaTeX wikibook is also a good source of info, e.g.
% http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Chemical_Graphics

\section{Using chemistry packages with \LaTeX{}}
\subsection{Chemical equations with \texttt{mhchem}}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Chemical equations with \texttt{mhchem}}
\begin{itemize}
\item The \texttt{mhchem} package lets you write chemical equations in \LaTeX{} with the minimum of effort.
\item The example below shows how the standard representation of a reaction (on the left) is created from the simple code on the right:
\end{itemize}
\begin{center}
\ce{CO2 + C -> 2CO} is created with \verb|\ce{CO2 + C -> 2CO}|
\end{center}
\begin{itemize}
\item More complicated reactions are still easy to write:
\end{itemize}
\begin{center}
\ce{SO4^2- + Ba^2+ -> BaSO4 v}\\[0.1cm]
is created with\\[0.1cm]
\verb|\ce{SO4^2- + Ba^2+ -> BaSO4 v}|
\end{center}
\end{frame}
\subsection{Getting started with some \texttt{chemfig} coffee}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Getting started with some \texttt{chemfig} coffee}
It's easy to use the \texttt{chemfig} package for drawing complex molecules:
\vskip 0.5cm
\begin{center}\small\setatomsep{2.0em}
\schemestart
\chemfig{*6((=O)-N(-CH_3)-*5(-N=-N(-CH_3)-=)--(=O)-N(-H_3C)-)}
\schemestop
\end{center}
This is the caffeine molecule, represented clearly and neatly, and built from a single line of text: \small{\verb|\chemfig{*6((=O)-N(-CH_3)-*5(-N=-N(-CH_3)-=)--(=O)-N(-H_3C)-)}|}\\[0.3cm]
If that looks quite daunting, we can learn from simpler molecules\dots{}how about a single water molecule?
\end{frame}
\subsection{Experiments with water and rings}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Experiments with water and rings}
To see how the \texttt{chemfig} package creates the drawings from your code, let us look at the simple water molecule:
\vskip 0.3cm
\begin{center}
\chemfig{H_2O} is created with \verb|\chemfig{H_2O}|
\end{center}
The simple \LaTeX{} code on the right is automatically converted into the molecular formula for water on the left.
\vskip 0.3cm
Rings are similarly easy to code - consider the examples below:
\vskip 0.3cm
\chemfig[][scale=0.5]{A*5(-B-C-D-E-)} = \verb|\chemfig{A*5(-B-C-D-E-)}|
\vskip 0.3cm
\chemfig[][scale=0.5]{*6(=-=-=-)} = \verb|\chemfig{*6(=-=-=-)}|
\end{frame}
\section{Where to go next\dots{}}
\begin{frame}{Where to go next\dots{}}
\begin{itemize}
\item This short example was designed to introduce you to the power of write\LaTeX{} for scientific presentations.
\item This wouldn't be possible without the great packages that have been developed for \LaTeX{}, such as the two we focused on here (plus the \texttt{Beamer} package used for the overall presentation style).
\item For more help on using \LaTeX{}, see the links on the write\LaTeX{} help page: \url{www.writelatex.com/help} which will take you to great community help sites.
