Chemistry and other scientific information

For general scientific information, try

NerdWorld's Chemistry page is a truly massive compilation.

The Chemistry Information Retrieval Server, based in Athens, Greece, is well-organized and comprehensive. It's also on a fast server with minimal graphics, so download time is nice and short!

The University of Liverpool's Department of Chemistry has compiled their own list of Links for Chemists.

Here are pages I have prepared on

• Molecular models, chirality and Fischer projections. Rules for manipulating Fischer projections are included. These pages use Chime and the Molecular Visions model kit.

• Olestra^®

• Walsh's molecular orbital model of cyclopropane

Six different versions of the Periodic Table:

• , the definitive periodic table site.
• The American Chemical Society's Shockwave periodic table.
• The American Chemical Society's 80th Anniversary Periodic Table, with essays on each element.
• The Los Alamos Periodic Table
• NMR Periodic Tables which give those physical properties of nucleii which are used in NMR spectroscopy.
• The Comic Book Periodic Table, which must be seen.

Links to other chemical information:

• Information from IUPAC:
  • The IUPAC Compendium of Chemical Terminology, commonly referred to as the Gold Book; you can browse the entries from the main website.
  • The IUPAC Rules of Organic Nomenclature (actually hosted by Advanced Chemical Development)
• Useful items at the University of Sheffield:
  • The aforementioned
  • , a set of interactive chemical calculators.
  • , Sheffield's comprehensive guide to chemistry on the Web.
• The NIST Chemistry WebBook, a tremendous compendium of thermodynamic and other data.
• ChemCenter, a central resource in locating chemical information on the Web.
• ChemFinder, which maintains an extensive database on physical properties such as melting points.
• Hazard.com's comprehensive MSDS database.
