All new IUPAC Gold Book
Chemindustry.com reports that the
infamous IUPAC Gold Book has finally
been brought into the 21st Century and
is now taking "full advantage of new
technologies based on eXtensible Markup
Language (XML) and provides efficient
ways of browsing, searching, and simply
using this reference." We'll be updating
our Gold Book search tool shortly.

Bio joins Ruby on the Rails
BioRails is a new open source study &
test management solution designed for
biologists working in drug discovery
research. It has been specifically
designed to support biologists working
in in vivo and therapeutic research
areas.
Chemistry Central Journal Launches
A new open access outlet for chemists?
peer reviewed research was launched
today. Chemistry Central Journal.
Publisher BMC says, the journal is the
first international open access journal
covering all of chemistry and will
publish its first issue early in 2007.
Top Ten Chemical Searches
The top searches on Chemspy reflect some
of the fairly obvious interests of our
readers as well as some of the more
esoteric: imidacloprid formulations,
anthracene, sulfuric acid, basic
information of stereospecific compound,
m-CPBA, terpenoids, Dynacco Inc,
Polyvinyl Alchohol manufacturer,
stoichiometry lab activity, chemical
prices, ammonia, imidacloprid
solubility, naphthalene, methanol,
isooctanol, ketanserin,
stoichiometry/labs, metformin,
trichloromethane... The list goes on. At
some point we may produce a page to
point to detailed information on each of
these. In the meantime, feel free to use
our specialist search engines such as
chemindustry.com, pubchem etc and of
course Chemspy's own internal search
facilities.
Nice Web Site
Chemspy was featured as a "Nice Web
Site" this month by the Internet
Resources Newsletter. "There's a great
deal of information available through
this site...All databases included in
this service are free of charge and
available without login". So, there you
have it. Take a look at
http://www.chemspy.com for all your
chemical info needs.
Chemical Search
We've upgraded the Chemspy chemical
search page to purge obsolete search
tools and to update the system. Give it
a try, you can search for chemical
prices, chemical companies, MSDS data
sheets, chemistry journals, patents,
dictionaries, acronyms, spectral data,
physical properties, chemistry jobs, and
more.
Chemistry Central
A new Open Access chemistry portal
launches today. We will be keeping a
close eye on how the system progresses
and keep you informed of updates as well
announcing the imminent launch of the
organisation's new chemistry journal.
Read the press release and commentary
from David Bradley in the Sciencebase
scienc blog.
Chemistry World Newsfeed
We're now running the RSC's Chemistry
World newsfeed on the ChemSpy site, to
provide you with the latest breaking
news from this award-winning magazine.
8 million PubChem entries
According to Steve Heller, writing in
CHMINF-L, the recent addition of
chemical structures from Spain's Prous
Science's Drugs of the Future database,
and additional structures from the
NIH-funded UC-SF ZINC project now means
the open access PubChem chemical
structures database containes almost 8
million unique chemical (7,995,841 at
the time of posting). You can search
PubChem direct from your favourite
chemical database and search site
ChemSpy.com right now, for free.
Chemical Literature Search
Now you can search the full-text
scientific literature from dozens of
publishers courtesy of Google. We have
embedded the appropriate tags on this
test page. Enter your search term and
hit Go. The results returned will filter
out those you'd get from a normal web
search and give you journal articles
from each publisher site with the
convenience of a single 100-entry search
engine results page (SERP)
Periodic Table Game
If you're called Frank, Nina, Tiberius,
Asimov, Nicholas, or Hepburn, and you're
a chemist, you're probably well aware
that you can construct your name from
periodic table element symbols, e.g.
AsIMoV (arsenic, iodine, molybdenum, and
vanadium), or if you're not that way
inclined you may not have tried this
periodic game with your monicker.
Chemspy now presents a periodic table
compliancy test for all visitors, c/o
VIReN over at viren.org. Check it out!
It's fun and if you can't remember your
own name, pick your favorite movie or
pop star, or a well-known chemist! The
periodic table name game featured in
SEED magazine's Daily Zeitgeist on June
27th.
Chemistry Conferences
Chemspy now brings you regularly updated
listings of forthcoming chemistry
conferences and meetings, chemical
symposia, and industry trade shows and
other events.
Chemspy Updates
We've made a few changes to the site's
front page, giving our what's new
section it's own box, adding the free
chemistry magazines portal, and running
the chemistry blog headlines too. We've
also adopted the new ChemRefer search
standard for speedier searching of the
open access chemical literature. We've also
fixed some minor niggles such as the
failure of our science events page to
render, this has been repaired now.

chemical searching!
KMT Simulator
You'll need Java enabled to work this
chemical machine, but visit
http://intro.chem.okstate.edu/1314F00/Laboratory/GLP.htm
to have a play with the Gas law Program.
Basically, lots of little green dots
bouncing around, move the sliders to
change temperature, pressure and volume
and find out what happens when you
squeeze or heat a gas. It's an oldie but
a goodie.
Molecular Formula Search
A query on the Sciencebase.com site
regarding whether it were possible to
reverse engineer a high-resolution
molecular weight to work out a likely
molecule with that particular weight
with no additional information sent me
on a search for an appropriate tool.
Thanks to Jonathan Goodman at the
University of Cambridge I discovered
that just such a tool does indeed exist.
Now with Jonathan's permission we are
enabling the tool on the ChemSpy site.
PubChem Growing
PubChem is growing rapidly day by day
according to the latest news out of NIH.
