Looking for the properties of a chemical compound or for compounds that have particular properties? Wondering how to make an existing compound or synthesize a new one? Reaxys is a database that contains a wealth of information on chemical reactions and properties, including bioactivity, "druglikeness", biodegration, thermodynamic data, adsorption data, electrical and electrochemical properties, and much more.

Join us online when a trainer from Elsevier will demonstrate tools for constructing search queries and importing/exporting structures, reactions, and queries. Learn to search for compounds with specific physical and chemical properties, to search for reactions, and to use a retrosynthesis tool. Access to Reaxys for hands-on exercises requires authentication through PittNet and your Pitt computer login.

This session is the first in a series of two. To register for the second session on February 28th, click here.
