Literature Searching Tools:

  1. Searching Tips (also in the lab manual)
     
  2. SciFinder  CAS  As an OSU student you can setup a login for using this. Please close the interface when you are through using it. 
     
  3. Professor Carter's List of links to many journal web sites where you can search for free for abstracts and often full text of articles (Thanks to Professor and Chair, Dr, Rich Carter).
     
  4. OSU Library - Log in at osulibrary.oregonstate.edu and go to Find It - E-Journals to search for journals available to OSU students.  You will need to login with your ONID.
     
  5. Comptes Rendu (1835-1965) and Berichte (1868-1901) for example are now available online (scanned copies) from the National Libraries of France (Bibliotheque Nationale de France).  Some are listed on this site under Sciences and some under Chimie. The site itself is in French. There may be others that are cited in Beilstein that we don't own here as well

    http://gallica.bnf.fr/Search?ArianeWireIndex=index&p=1&lang=EN&q=Compte+Rendu
     
  6. On Line Sigma-Aldrich Catalog/Handbook.  Electronic version of the Aldrich Catalog.  Useful for searching by name or CAS to find general physical data (mp's, bp's, etc.) You can also retrieve the MSDS from this site - but you will have to log in.  MSDS's can be retrieved hassle-free from the University of Vermont site MSDS's.
     
  7. Web of Science is the web version of Science Citation Index (SCI). OSU has access to Web of Science from 1996-present. Access this database from the on line OSU Valley Research Databases.  Web of Science accesses a multidisciplinary database of bibliographic information gathered from thousands of scholarly journals. The databases are indexed so you can search for specific articles by subject, author, journal, and/or author address. Because the information stored about each article includes the article's cited reference list (often called its bibliography), you can also search the databases for articles that cite a known author or work.
     
  8. Links to Beilstein dictionary on line.  This site is hosted at Stanford University.
     
  9. The University of Indiana hosts an excellent resource site for chemical information (they also offer a graduate degree in this area) Click here for link.
     
  10. Search ChemWeb Journal Listing for abstracts at : http://www.chemweb.com/
     
  11. On line spectral database for NMR, IR, MS, etc. can be searched by CAS.
         http://SDBS Spectral Databases
     
  12. NIST WebBook.  Includes thermodynamic information as well as MS and IR spectra for many compounds
     
  13. List of Journal Titles and Abbreviations (coden): http://www.library.ubc.ca/scieng/coden.html
     
  14. Online copies of articles published in the RSC journal archive (prior to 2004) can be accessed at: http://www.rsc.org/Publishing/Journals/DigitalArchive/available.asp

Synthesis and workup:

  1. Suggested glassware setup for synthesis.  Put the glassware needed for the reaction in the drying oven before leaving lab on Thursday the first week of the term.
     
  2. Suggestions for using tlc to check the purity of the ketone reaction mixture.
     
  3. Chart for dielectric constants for some solvents (useful for tlc method development).  Reference:
    http://murov.info/orgsolvents.htm
     
  4. Sample Flowchart for workup.
     
  5. Following the course of the Friedel-Crafts mechanism using 3D mapped electrostatic potentials generated using HyperChem computational chemistry at the PM3 level.
     
  6. Classic organic chemical reactions on the web.

Spectroscopy and Photochemistry:

  1. Using the Bruker 400 FTNMR for routine HNMR work.
     
  2. Guidelines to using 2D NMR to validate the structure.
     
  3. Forms for use in filling in photophyisical parameters and energies and included units.  Also the key parameters that are determined by some experiment are colored in blue-use these key factors to find all the other parameters.  For the npi* diagram: S0-S1-T1 ; for pipi * diagrams: S0-Sn   (this was initiated by a student in 2003, Chun Park)
     
  4. Good link for IR spectroscopy Another good link for IR http://infrared.als.lbl.gov/FTIRinfo.html
     
  5. Example of UV Spectrum Log file from HyperChem model. Acetone.
     
  6. Calibraton for phototubes in Rayonet rotating rack calculation of phosphorescence quantum efficiency.
