Hi, December's molecule of the month is now ready for your inspection. It's really a collection of molecules, the helicenes, which are spiral benzologues of phenanthrene, with some pretty amazing structures. This contribution is from Hens Borkent at the CAOS/CAMM Centre in Nijmegen, and is the first MOTM to be presented in 3 different optional formats, normal, Chime, and Java (Chemsymphony). Check out these pages, they are a really good example of the state-of-the-art in presentation of chemical information on the web in an easy-to-read, and fun presentation. Direct links: Normal page: http://www.caos.kun.nl/~borkent/motm/deca.html Chime Page: http://www.caos.kun.nl/~borkent/motm/decacc.html Java Page: http://www.caos.kun.nl/~borkent/motm/decajv.html all linked from the MOTM page at: http://www.bris.ac.uk/MOTM/motm.html ------------------- Note: The MOTM Page idea has now been working successfully for a year. I still need contributions from people for next year...let me know if you think you may have a suitable page. (I only have about 2 lined up from different UK sites at the moment, and another 3 that I've written, but the more we have, and the more diverse the molecules, style of writing and site distribution, the more this demonstrates how the web can be a truly distributed information network.)
