1. New Databases
*** Project Prospect
http://www.projectprospect.org/
Royal Society of Chemistry journals now offer structure searching thru Project Prospect.
Prospect enhanced (recent) HTML articles provide definitions, synonyms, structures and RSS feeds.
Project Prospect and the new structure and sub-structure searching function is described at:
http://www.rsc.org/Publishing/Journals/structuresearch.asp
***Encyclopedia of Inorganic Chemistry
http://www.mrw.interscience.wiley.com/emrw/9780470862100/eic/topics
The Encyclopedia of Inorganic Chemistry, 2nd edition, continues to present articles in alphabetical order, but the content has been slightly reorganized to the following subject areas:
Bioinorganic Chemistry
Catalysis
General Principles
Inorganic and Coordination Chemistry
Main Group Elements
Organometallic Chemistry
Physical Methods
Solid State, Materials and Nanomaterials
Transition Metals
Quite a number of new articles have been added to the Physical Methods category, for example:
Electron Spin Echo Envelope Modulation (ESEEM) Spectroscopy
Freeze-Quench Kinetics
High-Energy Electron Diffraction
High Resolution Electron Energy-Loss Spectroscopy (HREELS)
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy of Metallobiomolecules
Nuclear Resonant Vibrational Spectroscopy (NRVS)
X-Ray Powder Diffraction
The right side of the home page has a ‘SEARCH THIS TITLE’ box …
the following is a sampling of articles that refer to Ruthenium.
Ruthenium: Inorganic & Coordination Chemistry
Sylviane Sabo-Etienne, Mary Grellier
Ruthenium: Organometallic Chemistry
Rosemary E. White, Timothy P. Hanusa
Organic Synthesis Using Metal-Mediated Metathesis Reactions
Rebecca M. Kissling, Steven P. Nolan
Bonding Energetics of Organometallic Compounds
Reto Dorta, Steven P. Nolan
Metal-Based Drugs
C. Frank Shaw
Supported Organotransition Metal Compounds
Brian E. Hanson
***ToxSeek
http://toxseek.nlm.nih.gov/
An updated version of ToxSeek, an NLM metasearch engine and clustering tool, enables the simultaneous searching of many different toxicology and environmental health information databases and web sites.
ToxSeek enhancements include:
A new spell checker with English and medical dictionaries
Automatic inclusion of medical subject headings (MeSH) in the subject clusters
Addition of TOXMAP and ToxTown
Refinements to the search strategies of the CPSC and CDC sites
Addition of WHO (World Health Organization).
***Human Metabolome Project
http://www.hmdb.ca/
The Human Metabolome Project seeks to be "the chemical equivalent of the Human Genome Project", producing a database of human metabolites.
Since 2004 the project has assembled the current inventory of roughly 2,500 molecules produced by metabolic reactions in body tissues and fluids -- and though this may be only 10% of the human metabolome (nobody really knows) it is a useful starting point, and a unique database.
***U.S. DOE Service - ETDEWEB
http://www.etde.org/etdeweb
Set up a free e-mail alert account and receive information on a wide variety of energy-related research through a new U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) service—ETDEWEB (Energy Technology Data Exchange World Energy Base).
Information is available from 16 ETDE member countries. Users can target information of interest and then choose whether to receive updates on a weekly, biweekly, monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. Registration is required.

***Energy & Environmental Science
http://www.rsc.org/Publishing/Journals/EE/
Energy & Environmental Science is launching summer 2008. The Editor-in-Chief is Professor Nathan Lewis (Caltech). The journal will link all aspects of the chemical sciences by publishing original research and authoritative reviews relating to energy conversion and storage, alternative fuel technologies, and environmental science. Accepted articles will benefit from huge exposure, will be free-to-access for all, and will be published online in a citable form as soon as they are ready.
