New in Dynochem 5.2, Catalist opens a task pane that allows materials and properties to be defined or retrieved from the materials system or web services (e.g. PubChem), inserted in the document and saved with the document for later re-use.

For each component of a reaction (solvent, gas, reagent, element), a series of properties can be obtained by searching on the required component. Below is a list that contains the properties for each component:

 

 

An additional feature to this tool, is that further properties can be added to any reagent/gas/solvent and saved by the user for future use or insertion into the document.

There are two ways that a user can gain the optimum usage from it. Firstly, the user can type in any solvent/or reaction component as shown below, see Benzaldehyde.

Once you select the PubChem option, the following list of properties will appear.

 

If the database option was selected, the following would appear:

 

To insert the required property, simply right click on the property and scroll down the context menu. There are three options:

1.       Insert will insert the property into your document at the position of the cursor

2.       Move up and down will move the selected property up and down the property list respectively.

3.       Delete property will remove the property from the list.
