Vision

The vision of ChemWiki is to be a compendium of all chemistry knowledge.

Mission

The mission of ChemWiki is:

  1. Collate information (properties, uses, laboratory synthesis and industrial production, analytical data) on all chemicals, commercially available or not. Actual detailed synthetic procedures performed by contributors, with experimentally obtained properties and analytical data are particularly welcome.
  2. Continually review topics of interest:
    1. Practical importance (alkylation, nucleophilic aromatic substition)
    2. On-going research (e.g. N-heterocyclic carbenes, asymmetric synthesis, alkyne metathesis)
    3. Topics of historic (structure of benzene) or pedagogical value (Haber process).
    4. Laboratory technique (air-free technique)
  3. Serve as a resource for chemistry educators, discussing pedagogical tools and methods
