Pentane – LaTeX Cookbook

In the Benzene ring example we saw a ring molecule.

Now we use the chemfig package for drawing a big molecule, while making work easier using submoles.

The code is fully explained in the LaTeX Cookbook, Chapter 11, Science and Technology, Drawing molecules.

Edit and compile if you like:
