ChemSpider Blog

I am writing an editorial piece at present that necessitates the communication of what types of data we can host from users if they choose to use ChemSpider as a platform to host their data and interesting chemistry pieces. For example:

Hosting Reaction Details: The Synthesis of cis-Bicyc​lo[3.3.0]​octane-3,​7-dione

Chemistry Movie: Photochromism in action

Spectral data in abundance: Spectra of aspirin (click on the green image to view)

Open Notebook Science report: An analysis of  the spectrum of Cholesterol

List of publications: A long list of publications associated with cholesterol

The Linked Wikipedia Article: Xanax

We are just about to head off to the IUPAC Congress in Glasgow and unveil a spiffing new booth. In preparation for the unveiling of our new logo we’ve done some editing to the website and changed the look and feel of some of the pages. These are mostly cosmetic at present and there is little change to the core functionality of the site but we hope that some of the changes make the site a little easier to navigate.

This is the first work we are doing to improve the website and to roll out a redesign of the logo (look out for that logo at the ACS meeting in Washington in a couple of weeks…you’ll see it in a few places and we will have our own booth there too). Over the next few weeks we will be working further to improve the usability and flow of the website and to enhance the core functionality of the platform. Watch this space.

We welcome your feedback on the new logo and, if you don’t see it on the ChemSpider website please refresh the stylesheet using Ctrl-F5.
