While chemistry exists in three dimensions, it is presented in two. This down-conversion results in a significant loss in information and often necessitates multiple images/figures to convey the complexity, intricacy, and beauty of a given structure. Currently, three-dimensional models are built to allow students to interact with molecules. However, model building for students is time-consuming, has the potential for error, and requires the purchase of a model kit. Outlined herein is a concise, straightforward method for incorporating interactive three-dimensional (i-3D) figures into teaching aids in PDF format. These figures can be generated from a variety of sources and allow for structures, molecular orbitals, unit cells and crystal lattices, as well as biopolymers to be presented in the same information-rich format as they are created. These images can be seen and interacted with by anyone reading the file in the standard PDF software (Adobe Reader). It is time for chemical education to take advantage of the digital age.
