Structure & Metadata Search part two:
combining search terms
Searching for a reaction continued.
When the structure is drawn, then you can do a search. In this first example, the reaction of adding Iodine to cyclohexene is found in only one article.
There is a way to look at the structure or reaction more closely, and that is by clicking on the magnifying glass icon.
To see the article that has this structure, click on the link. You will see that this reaction drawing leds us back to the original Iodine article.
Advanced searching with structures.
If the search is for a more common structure in which there are a lot of articles, there are a number of ways to narrow the search down. In example, if the goal was to see what articles contained a reaction with Iodine, you would create a substructure.
Once the structure is drawn and transferred to the search screen, the searching can be narrowed by a number of terms.
The search terms are: reagent name, reaction name, catalyst name, solvent name, product yield, temperature, authors, reference and publication year. With this example we will search for the reagent name of Iodine to go along with the Iodine substructure drawing.
The result is the 25 articles.
In the next section you find a summary of search uses in the: Conclusion
