Description

This entry presents Benomyl (C14H18N4O3; CAS 17804-35-2; PubChem CID 28780 (https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/28780)) as a 3D-printable ball-and-stick model in which every atom carries its engraved element symbol (C, H, N, O), so the model can be read without a colour key. Atomic coordinates come from the PubChem-computed 3D conformer (not an experimental crystal structure); coordinates and connectivity are unchanged. Biological relevance: Benomyl is a fungicide recorded as a tubulin modulator with anthelmintic activity, and also as a male reproductive and developmental toxicant (source: Wikidata Q420172 (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q420172), retrieved 2026-10-10). Structure at a glance 39 atoms: 14 C, 18 H, 4 N, 3 O 40 bonds: 28 single, 2 double, 10 aromatic Two rings (one 5-membered and one 6-membered), fused along a shared edge, both aromatic Functional groups: one carbamate group (-NH-CO-O-), one urea linkage (-N-CO-N-) and one pyridine-type ring nitrogen Two hydrogen-bond donors and four acceptors (computed) Fraction of sp3-hybridised (tetrahedral) carbon atoms: 0.36 (computed) Use in teaching Counting task: students tally the engraved symbols (14 C, 18 H, 4 N, 3 O; 39 atoms) and rebuild the formula C14H18N4O3 from the model alone. Aromaticity: identify the two aromatic rings and the 10 bonds recorded as aromatic. Functional groups: find the carbamate group (-NH-CO-O-), the urea linkage (-N-CO-N-) and the pyridine-type ring nitrogen on the model and name each one. File and printing STL mesh of 493,622 triangles, a closed (watertight) single solid. Coordinates are in ångström and STL stores no unit, so scale the model deliberately in your slicer. Measured bounding box: 9.527 × 10.911 × 8.787 Å; at scale factor 10 (1 Å to 10 mm, file read in millimetres) the print measures about 95.3 × 109.1 × 87.9 mm.
