JCE ChemInfo Collection of the JCE Digital Library One of the useful collections of the JCE Digital Library is JCE ChemInfo (http://www.jce.divched.org/JCEDLib/ChemInfo/). This collection aims to gather data sources freely available on the WWW that are useful to chemistry educators. The initial offering of the JCE ChemInfo collection targeted organic chemistry and has some significant recent updates. We have also initiated a new collection of data for inorganic chemistry. It is our goal to extend the JCE ChemInfo collection to other areas of chemistry. If you would like to help us achieve this goal and provide oversight of another collection of data pertinent to your area of chemistry expertise, please contact us at jce@ chem.wisc.edu.
JCE ChemInfo: Inorganic Mission Statement JCE ChemInfo: Inorganic is a collection of Web resources containing information useful to teachers, researchers, and students in inorganic chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, and inorganic materials chemistry. The resources have been selected for ease of use, broad applicability, and quality of coverage. Topics currently include diamagnetic susceptibility data, but future expansions may include structural information, inorganic reactions, nomenclature, physical properties, and spectroscopic data. The collection will be updated as additional Web resources become available.
JCE ChemInfo: Inorganic We are pleased to announce a new inorganic chemistry collection for JCE ChemInfo. beginning with a collection of diamagnetic susceptability data “normalized for education use and practice” (1). We encourage you to contact John F. Berry (contact information below), the collection curator, with other freely available data sets for inorganic chemistry that you would like to see added to this collection. JCE ChemInfo: Organic The organic chemistry area of JCE ChemInfo (2) has new items and recent updates to some of the items in the collection. New items in the collection to note are Nucleophilicity/Electrophilicity in the data section; NMR Coupling Constants and Multinuclear Shift data for Se-77, F-19, and P-31 in the spectroscopy section; and Binary Solvent Strength and Combinatorial Chemistry in the techniques section. The Named Reagents, Natural Product Syntheses, Proton Chemical Shifts, C-13 Chemical Shifts collections have been updated with new entries.
