Master Ether Geometry with Pro-Grade Molecular Models
Ethers contain an oxygen atom bonded to two alkyl or aryl groups (R–O–R′). This specific oxygen bonding configuration affects the compound's polarity, steric hindrance, and low chemical reactivity compared to alcohols. Where textbooks offer flat 2D illustrations, the Indigo® 68845NV molecular model set makes the nature of ether bond angles, lone pair distributions, and ring strain in cyclic ethers easy to intuit.
A stable 5-membered cyclic ether; an essential polar aprotic solvent frequently used to study Grignard reactions.
Widely encountered in pharmaceutical manufacturing and drug formulation research; key to workplace safety studies regarding industrial solvent toxicity.
Models a highly strained, reactive 3-membered cyclic ether (epoxide); demonstrates ring-opening reaction pathways driven by geometric steric relief.
Vital low-temperature sterilizing agent for sensitive medical equipment; carries heavy toxicological emphasis due to its high carcinogenic risk profile.
Demonstrates macro-scale ether polymer construction where repeating oxygen bridges create highly flexible, hydrophilic backbones.
Ubiquitous in biotechnology and medicine for drug delivery conjugation (PEGylation), laxative formulations, and skin cream ointment bases.
The molecules in the image are: di-isopropyl ether; dimethyl ether; methyl ethyl ether. Use the Orbit 68845NV Organic Chemistry Model Set along with the Indigo® Instruments 3D Molecular Model Builder (style: Orbit Basic) to view almost any ether structure & a parts list.
This model kit is great for improving knowledge of molecular structures for organic chemistry.

Bought two of these because I prefer them to the one used at the university. Easy to use and has a good flexibility.

I've had consistently great service from this company. Our students seem to really appreciate the reasonable price. In the years that we've used this product, not one has been returned due to defects.

Considering how many of these we sell to schools every year, that is high praise indeed. Thanks letting us know.
