Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

- Describe the dabases of substances, structures, phase diagrams, reactions and properties of materials as well as spectra for their identifications. - Acquaint with activities of institutions that collect, edit and disseminate such information (Gmelin, Beilstein, Landolt-Boernstein, Elsevier). - Explain the way in which the chemical, materials and reaction databases are built and the manner by which they are handled. - Make clear how these databases are used in searching structural regularities and structure-properties (structure-reactivity) correlations with the view of predicting and developing new materials and technologies. - Illustrate how to work with literature and bibliographic information databases, particularly in context of products of the worlds´ top information industry centers - Chenical Abstracts Service and Institute for Scientific Information.

Summary

A broad range of databases is described, in detail, including databases of structure and properties of materials, spectral databases for materials identification and reaction databases. Account of activities of institutions that collect, edit and disseminate such information is given. The way in which chemical, materials and reaction databases are built is explained and the way of handling these databases is described. The uses of databases in searching structural regularities and structure-properties (structure-reactivity) correlations is accentuated with the view of predicting and developing new materials and technologies. The use of literature and bibliographic information databases is especially illustrated by numerous products of the world´s top information industry centers - Chemical Abstract Service a Institute for Scientific Information.

Subject syllabus:

Lectures: 1. Databases of structures, reactions, properties and spectra, arrangement of data in files, compression codes, index-files, bit maps, descriptions of specific databases. 2. Systems for working with databases, search procedures, interpretive procedures, identification procedures 3. Use of databases for the prediction 4. The most important chemical information database, Gmelin, Beilstein, Landolt-Bornstein 5. Chemical Abstracts Service, organization and services it provides, Abstracts File Registry File 6. Science and informatics 7. Monitoring of current information, journals, abstracts, titles 8. Institute for Scientific Information: Current Contents (current information), Science Citation Index (search), Journal Citation Reports Index to Scientific Reviews, Index to Scientific Book Contents, Current Contents Address Directory 9. Hierarchy of chemical informatics 10. Libraries, their organisation and use 11. Classification systems, bibliographies and indexes 12. Services providing abstracts 13. Information on patents and corporate literature 14. On-line information services, database centers, computer networks, work with databases in the network Exercises: 1. Working with the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) now containing information about the structure of more than 200 000 organic compounds. When working on Silicon Graphics computers with the operating system UNIX students individually search in the database substances either according to the structural fragment or according to the given chemical and crystallographic conditions. 2. Working with the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICDS) containing currently over 50 000 entries on the structure of inorganic substances. When working with the demo version of the databasis on the PC operating system MS-Windows students independently seek information about substances and their structure according to the given chemical and crystallographic requirements. 3. Work with the database Powder Diffraction File (JCPDS ICDD FDP) containing over 70 000 diffraction records of inorganic substances. Work on PC operating system MS-DOS, search by the position of diffraction lines, the strongest lines, chemical composition. 4. Working with bibliographic information Compendex (Computer Engineering Index), Minabs (Mineralogical Abstracts), Current Contens and search literature on the Internet. Students by suitably chosen keywords and other aspects search bibliographic references to their future diploma work. 5. Using the database of reference diffraction spectra for identification of phase composition of material: a hands-on workshop.
