Robert, I would like to leave out the chemical structure pictures, or make it a "if exist" type of variable, because the pictures will be too small to see for many chemicals, or the box will need to be very fat.  I notice WP uses pictures on many articles, but can't fit them in to many others.  So, I was thinking that the structure picture goes on top right (not in the template) and the template would be directly under the picture.  That way we can scale the structures to always be readable while giving the template a slim profile.

In that case, if I put the picture on the top box, it might work out ok. Can you make an example on your talk page or this talk page? Or do you not want the picture a part of the data? Do you want the data as wide as the picture? --Robert W King 15:39, 20 March 2008 (CDT)
