Let's not forget the American Chemical Society

http://www.chemistry.org/portal/a/c/s/1/home.html

I would be interested in other societies in other countries.


For those who are involved in chemistry and particularly in synthesis, check out the following site:

http://www.innocentive.com/

InnoCentive enables independent and university scientists to receive professional recognition and financial awards for solving R&D challenges.

http://www.innocentive.com/about/index.html

Basically this organization lists problems from the chemical (organic and inorganic) and biochemical (e.g. pharmaceutical) industries. Problems are posed and one can select to solve the problem for the stated price. One must register to participate.

No endorsement of Innocentive is expressed or implied.

Have you known this website? www.orgsyn.org[/url] has lots of organic synthesis knowledge, I have been using it for a couple of weeks. It is completely free! It deserves your hits, I think. A second link is [url]http://themerckindex.cambridgesoft.com/TheMerckIndex/NameReactions/[/URL], this is the online and free version of The Merck Index, Thirteenth edition.

Hope you find them useful.

Probably the following one could be helpful:

It is with a collection of links on Chemistry, but
it does not provide any answer directly.

This list truly is great. I wanted to ask for some "teach me chemistry" links when I saw this thread. The thing is, I would like to learn some more (and faster) than I am doing now in class. To give you an idea, I am 17 years old and currently in fifth grade VWO (that's in holland. I still need to find out how to translate that to a more internationally understood system).
