Software for drawing reaction mechanisms?

DJF90 - 8-12-2008 at 05:48

I need a program that will allow me to draw reaction mechanisms (i.e. they allow the ability to draw lone pairs, bonding and antibonding orbitals (sigma/sigma* and pi/pi*), curly arrows (single and pair electron movement).

I would prefer not to have to purchase such software, and have been using ACD chemsketch (10 or 11?) previously. However upon searching through its functions and capabilities, I cannot find an option for these useful tools I require.

I do have access to Chembiooffice (university license), but I cannot find anything tat says it can do what I require of it. If it can, I shall download it immediately.

Thanks in advance to anyone who may help me.

Those .001 and .002 files need to be joined using HJSplit.
