Hi everyone!

Please post all contributions you have here so a moderator can add them to the first post which is locked to keep it clean.

Also, please make shure that any links and information complies with the Hazardous Materials and Synths rules or it will not be added and you will probably get a warning.

Thanks for your contributions!

Cheers,

Ryan Jones

hi how can i look into the chemistry latex tutorial. because iam unable to see any latex code for chemistry in this site.thanks.:

Hi,

I request the moderator to sticky this post.

There is a free software I recently downloaded about sketching formulae of different compounds. I thought I'd share this with others is anyone is interested. You have to register first to download it. Registration is free. Here's the link:

Good day!;)

Well, I have decided to add links to all the websites I can find relating to the structure of molecules. Here is this one I found, very useful:

http://www.3dchem.com/

If anyone else also have any links, would they care to add them here as well?!

[SFNfan#1]

^^Great Link on the bottom!

topic: a good handbook of library ejournal list with stanford jhu university!!
content : Dear friends: Do you know how to find out database quickly without entering so many university libraries and search the web again and again? Do you know what databases does a library have? You will recommend google search engine, but does it provide you enough and prcise information? No!So we made up this handbook for you guys as an index of library resource menu, for you to get to any database or journal without entering lots of university librares.
here is the handbook!
You can download the hand book here

you can go to http://www.passfans.com/forum userid=your userid get more information

Here's a site http://www.chemistrylecturenotes.com/. I don't think you have it. The ChemTutor doesn't seem to work though, at least not for me.

[RyanJ]

Please add Wolfram Alpha (http://www.wolframalpha.com) to the main post too as it can do all sorts of useful chemistry calculations (I'll post a thread for that later).

[seouldavid]

I think the following site is very useful in that it provides a comprehensive collection of audio/video lectures in chemistry and chemical engineering.

http://www.infocobui...ngineering.html

[adianadiadi]

You may add an upcoming new site http://www.adichemadi.com/ also to this list.

[yellowpin]

all add sites here? is it ok?
