Structural Information

Fluoxetine

C₁₇H₁₈F₃NO

The molecular structure of the fluoxetine molecule is fairly complicated. The molecule was derived from benzene molecules, and is composed of 2 hexagonal benzene molecules. The fluoxetine molecule was created by substituting different groups of molecules into a benadryl molecule, which also has 2 hexagonal benzene groups. The fluoxetine molecule is composed entirely of covalently bonded atoms, with the exception of 6 double bonded carbon bonds.
