Chemical compounds

Literature compounds

  • chembox
  • Lead/Introduction
  • Synthesis
    • Review of preparation methods
  • Properties
    • Specific properties that don't fit into the chembox.
  • References
  • Further reading

Commercial compounds

  • Chembox
  • Lead/Introduction
  • General (bulk) synthesis
    • Descriptions of the synthesis methods used to make the compound and of literature methods to make the same compound
  • Properties
    • Specific properties that don't fit into the chembox
  • References
  • Further reading
  • Linkfarms for finding the compounds on commercial sites.

New compounds (synthesised)

  • chembox
  • Lead/Introduction
  • Experimental section
    • Experimentals
      • Should at least contain a
  • Properties
    • Should at least contain the results of one spectroscopic or physical measurement, without can be put up for deletion.
    • 3 independent before reviewed (or with good excuse why not)
  • References

Should not contain

  • Reactions performed with this compound in order to make another compound, those reactions should be in the article for the product

Problem:

  • what to do with catalytic tests performed with this compound

Reactions

  • Most reactions are described on the pages of the products formed

Literature and name reactions

  • Lead/Introduction
  • General experimental procedure
  • Observations
  • Important, typical or notable applications
    • Refer to the articles where this reaction is used to make the product
  • References

Methods

(To be completed)

Teaching resources

High school

  • Lesson plans
  • Teaching materials - handouts, nice animations, etc.
  • Classroom demos and labs (with safety waiver - caveat emptor!)
  • (To be discussed: Course materials, online textbooks)

College level

  • Teaching materials - handouts, nice animations, etc.
  • Useful lab experiments
  • (To be discussed: Course materials, online textbooks)

To be discussed

The following content might be considered, and included if there is consensus support:

  • Advice and assistance with career planning, interview training, job hunting.
  • Current chemistry conferences, etc.
  • Chemistry dictionary
  • Chemistry news
  • Chemistry in the world
  • Research groups - grad students share/discuss results within a research group - requires a password protected area.
  • Pharmaceuticals
  • Journal club - highlighting and summarising any interesting new articles
  • Open notebook science
  • Chemistry related puzzles, mechanism problems, chemistry-related "fun".
  • Chemical industry information - Information about chemical companies, takeovers, new plants, etc.
  • Sourcing of chemicals (Where can I buy this from?) This would need to be comprehensive, to be NPOV; or could it be considered as a possible revenue source?
