Starting to Use e-EROS
When you first open e-EROS from the Chemistry Library's homepage, you will see what information e-EROS has to offer.
The database is searchable through browsing the index, keyword searching or through Structure & Metadata searching. The Structure & Metadata search first consists of drawing structures (for the substructure, structure exact or reaction substructure). To narrow the results, the database can then be searched by: reagent name, reaction name, catalyst name, solvent name, product yield, temperature, authors, reference and publication year.
Each entry highlights the various uses and characteristics of each reagent through: illustrations, information on physical data, solubility, the form it is supplied in, purification, and where relevant, preparative methods. Each entry has a list of literature references to key review articles and seminal papers.
For the purpose of this tutorial we will search for information on Iodine.
