Tips and Tricks for Building Effective SciFinder Structure Queries

Structure searching is the best way to locate chemical substances of interest, discover the synthetic pathways that detail how they are made, understand their commercial availability and regulatory status, and identify the patent and journal literature in which they are referenced.

Not only does SciFinder provide the most comprehensive and highest quality substance content from the CAS databases, it has many powerful structure drawing tools and options that make your structure searching easier, more efficient, and robust.

In this session, you will learn how to

  • enhance your structure searching ability by using structure editor tools and options
  • save time developing structure queries using templates, importing, and quick search capabilities
  • increase the relevance of structure search results with advanced structure drawing capabilities

Learn from your desktop or gather your colleagues and share the e-Seminar demonstration in an auditorium or meeting room. You can submit questions at any time during the e-Seminar.
