There are tons of links to chemistry sites of every size, shape and description. As a UMM chemistry student, you'll want to check out the UMM Chemistry Discipline Home Page. This home page has announcements pertinent to our chemistry and biochemistry students and provides much useful information for our majors.

Another quick link you might find handy is the following link to the Hougton Mifflin web site for supplemental help associated with your textbook.

In the links below I'm providing what I think is an interesting variety of links you might find interesting or useful.

Helpful Stuff for O-Chem

• O-Chem Demos at Colby College. This link includes the Sn2 / Sn1 demo shown in class.
  
• O-Chem tutorials from Frostburg State University
  
• Two excellent links for those of you who are spectroscopically-intrigued.
  • The Smith Group at Notre Dame has a Organic Structure Elucidation site. There you will find the spectra of several organic unknowns: see if you can figure out their structures!
  • A similar site with a plethora of unknowns, along with helpful hints about solving these kinds of problems, can be found at WebSpectra, out of UCLA.

• TLC in action!
  
• Material Safety Data Sheets
  

Helpful Stuff for Chemistry in general

• WWW Chemistry Guide: Chemistry Resources Worldwide

Just Cool Chemistry Stuff

• Mighty Molecules! Rasmol will take you into some VERY impressive graphics of interesting biologically active molecules.
  
• This is a neat site: the Molecule of the Month features interesting information coupled with great graphics.

• Undergraduate Research Opportunities!!! The American Chemical Society maintains a directory of research options (largely in industrial settings) at Directory of Experience Opportunities
  
• The Organic Chemist at Work Dr. Rainer Ernst Glaser of the University of Missouri has compiled this very interesting link to useful organic chemistry sites, including job opportunities/information. In case you were wondering what you could do with a degree in chemistry...

• A Career Awareness weblink from Mayo Clinic -- very useful info.
  
  

  In a similar vein, if you've been wondering what you can do with a career in chemistry, here is just ONE example of the many paths you can take (there are many other pharmaceutical companies on the web, and a vast number of other companies that offer employment to chemists! Do not take my selection of Abbott as an endorsement). This link tells you about careers at Abbott, as well as SUMMER INTERNSHIP opportunities that is worth checking out!
  

  • Abbott Laboratories Career Center
    

  Just For Fun

• Studying got you down? Check out Peep Research for a good laugh!
  
• Ever heard of Tom Lehrer? It's about time you did! His song, The Elements is a classic.
  
• Some of you may know of my "interest" in the musical glorification (?) of organic chemistry....Well, I'm not alone! Click here for some wild applications of organic chemistry to music (or vice versa?)!!!
