Default Useful Links

Here is a list of useful websites for chemists and students of chemistry. If anyone has any other suggestions, feel free to post them in a response to this thread.

My Chemistry Tutor- Forums and site.

WebQc
http://www.webqc.org/chemicalforum/index.php

Chemfinder is an awesome website for looking up chemical structures.

http://chemfinder.cambridgesoft.com/

Here is another chemical education website.

http://www.chemicalforums.com

Here are some cheminformatics sites submitted by thinko. As far as I can tell cheminformatics is the study of organizing the vast amountsof chemistry information out there.

Here is a combinatorial chemistry website submitted by chemist.

http://www.combichemistry.com/

IBchem.com is linked in charco's signature. It seems to be some sort of chemistry education and resource website.

The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) has a link to PubMed, a fantastic literature database (though more biology oriented) as well as other useful features.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/

Nist, submitted by Nick, describes itself with this sentence:

This site provides thermochemical, thermophysical, and ion energetics data compiled by NIST under the Standard Reference Data Program.

Protein Explorer is a free biological molecule visualization program. It was submitted indirectly by Mitch (who actually submitted Rasmol, which seems to be a more primitive version).

http://www.umass.edu/microbio/chime/...l/frntdoor.htm
http://www.umass.edu/microbio/rasmol/index2.htm

SyntheticPages is a synthetic chemistry database submitted by chemist.

http://www.syntheticpages.org/

Wikipedia is a great online encyclopedia written by the online public as a whole. It has a lot of information useful to chemists and students - for example, I was able to look up the histories of a few of the elements.
