1 CoolMolecules: a web-accessible database of experimentally determined molecular structures Robert M. Hanson, Melanie Casavant, and Michael McGuan St. Olaf College, Northfield, MN http://www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr Scot Wherland Washington State University http://www.chem.wsu.edu/Faculty/wherland.html 228 th ACS National Meeting, August 24, 2004

2 Goals of This Presentation Background: “Data-Driven” Chemistry Origin of the CoolMolecules Project Goals of the Project Project Outcomes Future Directions

3 generate dataanalyze data generate hypothesesextrapolate hypotheses Background: “Data-Driven” Chemistry

4 Start with raw data Transform the data into meaningful information Create actual paper 3D model Background: “Data-Driven Chemistry” R. M. Hanson, S. A. Bergman, "Data-Driven Chemistry: Making Molecular Models (Literally) from Electron Diffraction Data”, J. Chem. Educ. 1994, 150

5 St. Olaf College Chemistry 123 Start with hand- held models Develop concepts as needed Background: “Molecular Origami” http://www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr/mo/acs2001

13 generate data (experimental) analyze data (identify trends) generate hypothesis (explain shapes and trends) extrapolate hypothesis (predict shapes) Background: focus on analysis

14 Molecular Origami + Crystal Structure Database (Bob Hanson) (Scot Wherland) Origin of the Project: BCCE17 = CoolMolecules: A Molecular Structure Explorer http://www.stolaf.edu/depts/chemistry/mo/struc

15 Expand Scot’s database Include foldable “Molecular Origami” models Create a widely available, easy interface for searching the experimental data Provide strategies for making the database useful in a classroom setting Goals of the CoolMolecules Project
