I NEED INFORMATION…….

Is there any information on tin-doped chromium?

Are there any examples of reactions using Tin chloride as a catalyst?

How can I find property data for copper sulfate?

MORE MOLECULAR FORMULA FIELDS

18

LINEAR STRUCTURE FORMULA FIELD

Use alphabetical order

Use the Linear Structure Formula field when searching for:

• Doped compounds• Compounds with a particular charge

For doped compounds, the formulas of the dopants are separated from the basis compound by the designation “dot”: Tin-doped chromium

CrdotSn

19

LINEAR STRUCTURE FORMULA FIELD

Use alphabetical order

Use the Linear Structure Formula field when searching for:

• Doped compounds• Compounds with a particular charge

For multi-fragment compounds the Mol. formulas of individual fragments are separated from one another by asterisks (*).

Zirconium silicate

Zr(4+)*O4Si(4-)

20

FRAGMENT MOLECULAR FORMULA FIELD This field is searchable but not displayable

Use the Fragment Molecular Formula field to retrieve all compounds containing a given fragment, and the fragments themselves.

Find substances containing hexacyanoferrate(III) fragments

C6FeN6(3-)*

21

MF RANGE FIELD

This field is searchable but not displayable

The MF Range field allows the searching of ranges with molecular formula. It is calculated during the search "on the fly".

Ba2Cu3O(6-8)

Search for substances containing Barium, copper, and a variable amount of oxygen

22

ALLOYS

This field enables you to search for alloys, glasses and ceramic materials. The content of each constituent, an element or compound, is displayed in the results by a percentage value. The percentage may be shown as weight %, atom %, volume %, or unknown %.  

Ag2Mg

LIGAND SEARCH FIELDS

One-center ligand

Multi-center ligand

LIGAND CODES

Use these field codes when setting up your queries

There are also “special” ligand fields

EXAMPLE

Find substances where iron is bonded to at least one CO, at least one C, and also bonded to anything else.

Query is: LIGO.BASE = 'fe*' AND LIGO.FORM = 'l' AND LIGO.FORM = 'co'
