Hello OrgList'rs

A new version of the award-winning site:

     ** WebMolecules.com **

is now available at http://www.webmolecules.com
Visualize molecules in 3D - real-time on the Web!


New Features:
--------------------------------------------------------------
- Another 50,000 CAS-indexed molecular models have been added.

  We now have over 100,000 molecular models on-site.
  Search for these by CAS number
  http://www.webmolecules.com/search.shtml

- New Visitor Uploads are available in Category 28.0
  Includes the Fun, the Unusual, and the Unclassifiable.

- Email Models to Friends
  You can now send 3D models to friends via email.
  When viewing a 3D model, just click the Email Model link.


Molecule du Jour
--------------------------------------------------------------
Hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA)

Formula: C6H18N3OP Weight: 179.202(1) g/mol
Colorless liquid Patented by Monsanto - 1956

Solvent for polymers; polymer UV protectant additive;
jet fuel de-icing additive; chemosterilant (insects);
probable carcinogen; known mutagen


Other Recent Upgrades and New Features
--------------------------------------------------------------
- 100's of large structures have been added.
  For example: DNA, RNA, C180, C240, cyclodextrin,
  vitamin B12, large nanotech models, crystals, etc.
- Support for both Chime and VRML plug-ins
- For performance reasons, large molecules (>150 atoms)
  are available for the Chime viewer only.
- Mirror sites for the VRML plug-ins have been added. See:
  http://www.webmolecules.com/vrmlint.shtml
- Mirror sites for the Chime plug-in has been added. See:
  http://www.webmolecules.com/chimeint.shtml
- Resizable viewing window
- Support for uploads and model requests
- Improved support for bookmarks
- 3D coordinate downloads (M3D, MOL, PDB)


--------------------------------------------------------------
WebMolecules.com is a FREE, sponsor-supported site.
Designed for the 3D visualization of molecules,
it contains over 100,000 molecular structures in 3D.

Thousands of common molecules are organized into 30+
categories. Included are molecules of commercial value,
educational importance, and of topical interest. It is
indexed by formula and category and is also fully searchable.

Included are structures such as:
- Top 100 pollutants
- Top 100 commercial chemicals
- Top 200 pharmaceuticals
- Common valence geometries
- Common orbital configurations

WebMolecules.com is great for student and classroom use.
