Triglycidyl isocyanurate — CAS 2451-62-9

Triglycidyl isocyanurate (C12H15N3O6, CAS 2451-62-9) — a free educational 3D molecular model for teachers and students, by MolGod.org. Symbols are engraved into every atom, so students read atoms by symbol, not by colour.

Look at the skeleton first: Triglycidyl isocyanurate contains four rings (three 3-membered and one 6-membered), and students can trace 39 bonds (36 single and 3 double). Hand the model round and let students tally the engraved atoms: 12 C + 15 H + 3 N + 6 O, 36 in total. On the printed model, students can point to the isocyanurate ring (six-membered ring of alternating N atoms and C=O groups) and the three epoxide rings (three-membered C-O-C ring). Triglycidyl isocyanurate has three stereocentres, and this record does not specify their configurations (R or S), which makes the model a natural way into a lesson on enantiomers. A good fit for lessons on chirality, enantiomers and CIP (R/S) rules, on the carbonyl group (C=O), as well as on ring strain in three-membered rings.

This model is part of the free MolGod.org collection of engraved molecules for education. Teachers: pair it with the MolGod.org record to connect the 3D shape with identifiers and data.

A ball-and-stick model of Triglycidyl isocyanurate with each element symbol recessed into its atom sphere, generated by MolGod.org from a PubChem-computed 3D conformer (not an experimental crystal structure); atomic coordinates and connectivity are unchanged. STL mesh: 465,186 triangles, closed (watertight) single solid. Coordinates in ångström (STL stores no unit) — scale the model deliberately in your slicer.
