Analytical developments on ChemSpider

18 Feb 2011

Our colleagues over at ChemSpider have been very busy working on some exciting spectral interpretation tools:

The Spectral Game goes mobile

If you’ve never seen this before, a spectrum is displayed and the student must identify the molecule that the spectrum relates to from a number of possible choices.  Simple but effective, and now this interactive learning tool can be accessed via mobile devices, so get your iPhone out and take a look: www.spectralgame.com

Spectra School

Over 700 1H NMR, 13C NMR, UV, IR and MS spectra have been uploaded into the database from SpectraSchool, a project that was part-funded by the RSC.  But these aren’t just a bank of spectra – they’re interactive!  You can zoom in to look at sections in more detail and even download the NMR spectra so you can process them in your own software package.  Take a look at the spectra for caffeine here.

We’re certainly excited by these developments, not just because we love all things analytical, but because we hope they’ll help to support education in a very practical way.

Once you’ve had a play, let us know what you think by posting below or tweeting us: @analystrsc
