This is really nice. As an old chemist, OpenOffice.org user, and free software advocate I'm happy to see when all three come together.

I don't know where the images are generated. But phenol isn't optimal. Moreover, the name parsing is very strict: chloro benzene silently crash while chlorobenzene generates an image.

Do you know if the possibility of editing will be added?
