The “Industry Standard” Way To Draw Tetrahedral Carbon.Wedges And Dashes: Items In The Foreground Have High Contrast Items In The Background Are Low Contrast.One of the challenges that has faced chemists since the days of Van’t Hoff’s controversial ( for the 1870’s!) proposal that carbons attached to four substituents can adopt a tetrahedral geometry is that of trying to depict three-dimensional structures on a two dimensional page. And some very common pitfalls that might not be immediately obvious. There is a knack to drawing proper tetrahedrons. How To Properly Draw Tetrahedral Carbons – And The Many Ways To Screw It Up
