This section of the Chemical Search page appears if you select the Index
Chemicus® database or if you select Current Chemical Reactions®
and Index Chemicus. It does not appear if you only select Current Chemical
Reactions.
- In the Compound Data section, enter term(s) in one or more of the
Compound Data search fields. You can enter up
to 11 different terms joined by search operators.
- If you want to specify a compound's role in a reaction, select one of the
following check boxes:
|
Role
|
Definition
|
| As Reactant |
A reactant changes chemically in
the course of a reaction. Reactants appear to the left of the reaction arrow. |
| As Product |
The compound created by the reaction.
Products appear to the right of the reaction arrow. |
| As Catalyst |
A compound that affects the rate of
the reaction but does not change chemically in the course of the reaction. |
| As Solvent |
A liquid used to dissolve or disperse
other materials in a solution. |
If you specify a role, then by definition you are searching for reaction information.
Consequently, the records you retrieve will be from Current Chemical Reactions
only.
- [Optional] Scroll up to the Structure Drawing section to enter a structure
query and/or scroll down to the Reaction Data section to enter reaction data terms.
- Click Search.
