Mobilizing Science – Chemistry in Our Hands
Mobile Chemistry
What is mobile? Today? Tomorrow?
Chemistry “applications” made mobile
An overview of chemistry applications Publishers Chemistry applications Chemistry databases
What the future holds?

ithingies : Pods, Pads, Phones Phones with browsers Tablets with network connectivity
“Apps” versus Mobile Browsers Apps: Kudos and marketing value, dedicated to
platform functionality, offline usage Apps: Maintenance, distribution, local
versioning, longevity, development skills
Mobile Chemistry eBooks and access to Publishers content –
Nature, ACS, PubMed browsing, others
In lab assistants Stoichiometry calculators Equation balancing Elemental formulae to mass
Educational tools: Periodic Tables Flip cards, Q&As, Study aids
Mobile Chemistry
Multimedia access AND generation: YouTube videos, MP3s
Structure drawing tools
Look up tools: Types of reactions, Wikipedia searches, Chemistry database searching
Small molecules and biomolecules

Structure Drawing as an entry point
Drawing structures “for the sake of”? Structure entry as an entry point to:
Calculations (formula, mass) Predictions (local or server-based)
Systematic name generation, logP, pKa, NMR prediction, etc.
Database lookup On device dictionaries (because space doesn’t
matter!) Internet-hosted databases (because the latest
content does matter)

Future: Predictions
Short term : most innovations will quickly commoditize and there will be 1-2 top applications
Cloud-based “paper management” will expand (Papers, Mendeley, etc.)
Mid-term : iPad will popularize tablet usage – applications optimized to the dimensions
Online algorithms will serve up APIs for prediction Online databases will popularize through
“services” more than applications ChemSpider, PubChem, Pubmed
