Jean-Claude Bradley presents the introductory lecture for Chemical Information Retrieval at Drexel University for Fall 2011 on September 23, 2011. Examples are given to demonstrate how difficult it can be to find and assess chemical information such as melting points. An overview of the class wiki is then given
1. Chemical Information Retrieval 2011 Jean-Claude Bradley September 23, 2011 First Class Associate Professor of Chemistry Drexel University CHEM367/767 Drexel University
17. American Petroleum Institute 5 C PHYSPROP -30 C PHYSPROP 125 C peer reviewed journal (2008) 97.5 C government database -30 C government database 4.58 C What is the melting point of 4-benzyltoluene?
18. The quest to resolve the melting point of 4-benzyltoluene: liquid at room temp and can be frozen <-30C
19. Open Lab Notebook page measuring the melting point of 4-benzyltoluene
24. There are NO FACTS, only measurements embedded within assumptions Open Notebook Science maintains the integrity of data provenance by making assumptions explicit
25. Open Random Forest modeling of Open Melting Point data using CDK descriptors (Andrew Lang) R2 = 0.78, TPSA and nHdon most important
41. Straight chain carboxylic acids from 1 to 10 carbons Straight chain alcohols from 1 to 10 carbons Comparison of model with triple validated measurements
42. Cyclic primary amines from 3 to 6 carbons (cyclobutylamine flagged for validation – only single source available)
