An online resource for chemists to search, aggregate and datamine publicly available chemical data. In addition, access is provided to a series of property prediction algorithms. The database contains over 10 million compounds. 2. Molecules of the Month (April 2007) Sodium nitrate: used as fertilizer, food preservative and ingredient in glass and ceramics. Polyvinyl alcohol: polymer used in a wide range of applications (vapor barrier in soda bottles, thickening agent etc.). Rhodamine 6G: a fluorescent molecule, used to detect biological compounds at the single molecule level. Fluoroantimonic acid: the strongest superacid known. Glucose: The sugary source of energy for plants and animals. http://www.bris.ac.uk/Depts/Chemistry/MOTM/motm.htm Ticagrelor: developed as antiplatelet drug. http://www.prous.com/molecules/default.asp?ID=158 3. Upcoming Organic Synthesis Conferences (May 2007) MipTec 18th Lakeland Heterocyclic Symposium Organic Process Research & Development - The Original Process Development Conference! Learning Organic Synthesis Tremendously (LOST ?) : From experiments to knowledge In the SPECTRa project (Submission, Preservation and Exposure of Chemistry Teaching and Research Data), a set of customized software tools are developed to enable chemists to routinely deposit experimental data in Open Access digital repositories. http://www.lib.cam.ac.uk/spectra/ SyntheticPages is a free database of practical procedures for research workers in synthetic chemistry. |
