Managing MyChemicals

MyChemicals is a temporary collection of chemicals of interest that you can use to:

• Make a list of chemical datasheets and reactive group datasheets for easy reference during your session. (Click on the name of any substance in the MyChemicals collection to go to that datasheet.)
• Print reports about the collection. You can choose which datasheet information to include and whether or not any reactivity predictions are shown.
• Predict reactivity for all pair-wise combinations of substances in the collection.

Working with your MyChemicals Collection

• You can add datasheets to MyChemicals manually or you can import entire collections from saved text files. (Note that UN/NA datasheets cannot be added to MyChemicals collections.)
• By default, datasheets are listed in the MyChemicals collection in the order in which you added them. However, you can click the Sort Alphabetically button below the list to re-order it. When the list is sorted alphabetically, chemical names are sorted by the first alpha character in the name—for example, "1,3-BUTADIENE" is sorted as a "b", and the initial numbers and punctuation are ignored.
• To see general predictions about how the substances in the collection would react with water, click the Add Water below the list. However, note that if a chemical is water reactive, there may be more specific information on its chemical datasheet.
• To remove a chemical from the collection, click on the Remove button at the end of the row.
• If you accidentally removed a chemical, use the Retrieve it here link below the list to see all the substances that have been removed from the collection during the current session. You can then use the Add to MyChemicals button at the end of a row to return a chemical to the collection.
