I haven't used this product myself, not being a chemist, but I know others who love it. No doubt the new versio will be welcome!

Here's what they say on the site....

ACD/ChemSketch: Overview: "ACD/ChemSketch

Chemical Intelligence in a Comprehensive Drawing Package
NEW—September 2006: ChemSketch 10.0 Freeware is now available for download

Visualize a chemically intelligent drawing interface that provides a portal to an entire range of analytical tools, and facilitates the transformation of structural or analytical data into professional, easy-to-decipher reports or presentations. Advanced Chemistry Development, Inc., (ACD/Labs) has developed such an interface, and has integrated it with every desktop software module they produce. To date, over 500,000 chemists have incorporated ACD/Labs' chemical drawing and graphics package, ACD/ChemSketch, into their daily routines. Academic institutions worldwide have adopted this software as an interactive teaching tool to simplify and convey chemistry concepts to their students, and publishing bodies such as Thieme, the publisher of Science of Synthesis, consider it to be '...supportive of the organic chemistry publisher's role, both in the construction of compounds and their basic analysis.'
ACD/ChemSketch is an advanced chemical drawing tool and is the accepted interface into the industry's best NMR and molecular property predictions, nomenclature, and analytical data handling software.
ACD/ChemSketch is also available as freeware, with functionalities that are highly competitive with other popular commercial software packages. The freeware contains tools for tautomer prediction, 2D structure cleaning, 3D optimization and viewing, drawing of polymers, organometallics, and Markush structures - capabilties which are not even included in some of the commercial packages from other software producers. Also included is an IUPAC systematic naming capability for molecules with fewer than 50 atoms"
