Space-filling model of the LSD molecule

JUN 01 1943 · 12:00

A space-filling rendering of lysergic acid diethylamide in which each atom is drawn at its van der Waals radius, giving the molecule's overall volume rather than its bonds. The structure derives from the crystal structure of LSD o-iodobenzoate monohydrate, refined with the PM3 semi-empirical method. Rendered on a transparent background by Ben Mills.
