About this app

Crystalviz (CRYSTAL) helps you explore chemical synthesis pathways and understand their environmental footprint. Search for a target chemical, trace its production pathway back through the reactions and raw materials that make it, and see the life cycle assessment along with the energy, water, and emissions at every step along the way.

Pathways can be traced automatically along the environmentally optimal route, or built up manually by choosing between alternative reactions at each step. Save pathways, add your own reactions and impact data, and export results for further analysis.

CRYSTAL was created as part of NCCR Catalysis (grant number 225147), a National Centre of Competence in Research funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation.
