⚗️ Heterocyclic Aromatic Rings: Pyridine, Furan, Pyrrole & Thiophene

Interactive 3D viewer for pyridine, furan, pyrrole and thiophene: watch aromatic pi-electron delocalization around each ring and see the real molecules they build — heme, niacin, furfural and biotin.

ControlsFour heterocycle buttons (Pyridine / Furan / Pyrrole / Thiophene) rebuild the 3D ring with correct atoms, bonds and hydrogens; mouse-drag orbits the camera and an Auto-rotate button spins it automatically; a pi-cloud toggle shows or hides the animated delocalized-electron torus above and below the ring; an Application toggle shows or hides the real-world molecule model (heme porphyrin, niacin, furfural or biotin) built from that heterocycle; Reset restores the default view and Pyridine.

Switch between four real aromatic heterocycles (pyridine C5H5N, furan C4H4O, pyrrole C4H5N, thiophene C4H4S), animate delocalized pi-electron cloud density above and below each ring, and see the actual molecules they build: heme's porphyrin macrocycle, niacin, furfural and biotin.
