How to... Explore by Exact Structure

With SciFinder's structure drawing tools, you can draw a chemical structure and then find a particular substance or group of substances that match the structure.
Exact search results may include:
- The structure exactly as you have drawn it
- Stereoisomers
- Tautomers (including keto-enol)
- Coordination compounds
|
- Charged compounds
- Radicals or radical ions
- Isotopes
- Polymers, mixtures, and salts
|
|
|
In the Structure Drawing window, use tools down the left-hand side and across the bottom to draw your structure. Click Get Substances. |
- Mouse over the tool buttons to see names or descriptions for the tools.
- Once you select a tool, information also displays above the drawing area.
- For details about drawing structures and using each of the tools, see the SciFinder Help files.
Note: Some of the tools shown here are only available for substructure or reaction searching. |
