LINKS
CHEMINFO
CHEMINFO helps find and learn how to use chemistry information resources on the Internet and elsewhere. This site is sponsored by Indiana University, and contains many very useful links.
Medicinal Chemistry Webpage
MSDS (Material Safety DataSheets)
A reliable starting point for exchange of MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) documents, which supplies information on various chemical compounds in the most current format direct from the manufacturer.
WebElements
WebElements
aims to be a high quality source of information on the WWW
relating to the periodic table. Coverage is such that professional
scientists and students at school will all find something
useful. Currently most information is about the elements themselves
but the scope of WebElements will include simple compounds
as well in the future.
Wired Chemist
The Wired Chemist site is sponsored by Franklin and Marshall College for undergraduate students, and is an outstanding source of information.
