C1, Cs, Ci, Cn, Cnv, Cnh, Dn, Dnh, Dnd, S2n, Td and Oh, each with an example molecule drawn to show its 3D shape. ### Does it explain the mutual exclusion rule? Yes. The symmetry-consequences sheet sorts molecules into polar and nonpolar, chiral and achiral, and states the mutual exclusion rule for IR and Raman bands. ### Are the symmetry templates free? 3 of the 4 symmetry templates are free to download. All of them can be previewed here and opened and edited in MolDraw; downloading the premium ones is part of MolDraw Pro. ## Other template categories [Name reactions](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/name-reactions/)[Mechanisms](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/mechanisms/)[Resonance](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/resonance/)[Stereochemistry](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/stereochemistry/)[Catalytic cycles](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/catalytic-cycles/)[Pericyclic reactions](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/pericyclic-reactions/)[Biochemistry](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/biochemistry/)[Spectroscopy](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/spectroscopy/)[Research figures](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/research-figures/)[Lab safety](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/lab-safety/)[Lab notebook](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/lab-notebook/)[Teaching lab](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/teaching-lab/)[Lab reference cards](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/lab-reference-cards/)[Medicinal chemistry](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/medicinal-chemistry/)[Pharma](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/pharma/)[Polymers](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/polymers/)[Organic](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/organic/)[Lab reference](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/lab-reference/)[Medicinal](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/medicinal/)[General chemistry](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/general-chemistry/)[Materials](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/materials/)[Natural products](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/natural-products/)[Physical chemistry](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/physical-chemistry/)[General & inorganic](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/general-and-inorganic/)[Reaction maps](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/reaction-maps/)[Graphene](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/graphene/)[COFs](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/cofs/)[MOFs](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/mofs/)[Dendrimers](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/dendrimers/)[Reaction setups](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/reaction-setups/) MolDraw Pro Download all 421 templates - Export the 335 premium templates as PNG, SVG or PDF - AI chemistry assistant - Structure scanning from images - Cloud save and teaching slides [See Pro plans](https://www.moldraw.com/pricing) Free templates stay free.
