The following information on reaction searching is available:
Please follow the steps below to conduct your search:
- For each species that you want to match, enter one
of the following:
- Chemical name
- Chemical formula
- CAS registry number
- The asterisk (*) and and question mark (?) wildcards
can be used following element symbols in chemical formulas. The asterisk
matches zero or more occurrances of the element. The question mark matches
one or more occurrances of the element.
- Match reverse reactions
-
Match reactions which match the given specifications except for the
fact that the reactants and products are swapped.
- Allow reactants in addition to those specified
-
Match reactions which involve additional reactants to those which are
specified. This option is especially usefull when only one reactant
is specified.
- Allow products in addition to those specified
-
Match reactions which produce additional products to those which are
specified.
- Exclude reactions which contain ions
-
This option excludes reactions which involve ions as reactants or products.
Searches may be restricted by selecting the desired reaction type.
There are three options for reaction type:
- Any reaction
-
No restrictions are placed on the reaction type.
- Ion clustering
-
Searches are limited to ion clustering reactions.
- Disassociation
-
Searches are limited to disassociation reactions.
The following approaches are recommended for searching for
cluster ion reactions:
Search on core ion
- Enter the name, formula, or CAS registry number of the core
ion as a reactant. Please note that if you enter the neutral
formula for the core ion, you will get reactions for all
ions with the given formula. For example, a search on "Mg"
will find reactions with Mg+ and Mg+2.
- If the ligand of interest is known, enter it's name, formula
or CAS registry number as the other reactant.
- Select the "Ion clustering" reaction type.
- Press the "Search" button.
Search on ligand
- Enter the name, formula or CAS registry number of the ligand
as a reactant.
- Select the "Ion clustering" reaction type.
- Press the "Search" button.
Search on ion cluster
This form does not currently support searching based on ion
cluster formula. We hope to address the deficiency in a future
update to the site.
