Hi, This month's MOTM comes from Jamaica and has been provided by Robert Lancashire. The molecule is Hexol, which is an organometallic complex important because it was instrumental in the development of modern coordination chemistry. Direct URL: http://wwwchem.uwimona.edu.jm:1104/MOTM/hexol/hexol.html MOTM URL: http://www.bris.ac.uk/Depts/Chemistry/MOTM/motm.htm This MOTM is Chime-enhanced, and also includes an example of the use of the JCAMP plug-in for Netscape, which allows spectra (IR, UV, NMR, etc) to be interactive (zoom in/out, give spectral line positions, etc), as well as ultimately to be linked to the 3D structure data. The plug-in can be downloaded from the Jamaica site, or I've put a zipped copy in our local archive at: http://www.tlchm.bris.ac.uk/shared/npjcamp.zip (Win95/NT with Netscape only, unzip and place the dll into the Netscape plugins directory). Apparently the next version of Chime will have the JCAMP plug-in already built into it.
