Links

We try to check these links periodically, but some of them may have disappeared or changed since our last check.

Specific Compounds

This list of links represents a few ways to find information on specific compounds.

  • Web-sters' Organic Chemistry
    This is an extensive source of data bases and other tools, constructed in large part for use by organic chemistry classes, but of very general utility.
  • Welcome to CambridgeSoft!
    This is the online version of "Chemfinder" at Cambridge Software, and provides connections to, and a search engine for, a number of data bases.
  • MSDS
    One source of Material Safety Data Sheets from Envirocare International, Inc.
  • Hazardous Substances data bank
    Toxicology data file on the National Library of Medicine's Toxicology Network.
  • PDB WWW Home Page
    PDB 3DBBrowser
    These two addresses provide access to the current home of the Protein Data Bank, where one can find structures for a great many compounds of biological interest.
  • Integrated Spectral Data Base System for Organic Compounds
    This database provides spectral data, in particular, for a great many compounds. It includes IR, NMR, MS, Raman, and ESR spectra. It is provided by the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan.
  • Molecules from Chemistry at Okanagan University College
    The Okanagan University College site lists a number of organic molecules in a form in which they can be viewed with Rasmol or Chime, though it's not clear that all the structures have had their geometries optimized and checked carefully.
  • WEB ELEMENTS
    This is a periodic table by Mark Winter at the University of Sheffield, England, which allows you to look at chemical, physical, nuclear, geological and biological information about the elements. Additional information includes reduction potentials,ionization enthalpies as well as electronic configurations.
  • Emision spectra of all elements of periodic table.

Visualization Tools

This list of links represents ways to find information on useful visualization tools.

  • UCB Enhanced Rasmol
    This page provides information about, and a place to download, an enhanced version of RasMol, which allows, for example, the simultaneous viewing of more than one image, superposition, and the like.
  • The Protein Explorer Front Door
    This page provides access to a PDB-file viewing program called Protein Explorer, which permits easy exploration of biopolymers. The program makes extensive use of the browser plugin "CHIME."

Pedagogy, books, journals and software

This list of links represents a few favorites.

  • Chemical Education Resource Shelf
    A handy list of texts in all areas of Chemistry, and links to their publishers' home pages.
  • JCEOnline
    TheChemical Educator
    Two journals for chemical educators.
  • ACS Publications Division
    Access to information about all the ACS journals, including current tables of contents. Note that Lawrence faculty and students have full text access to a number of the ACS journals, including back issues, through the library web page.
  • TheWhy Files
    Some interesting questions and answers.

Affiliations

This list of links represents a few organizations to which department faculty members belong.
