Abstract:
Antiquated and inefficient data-sharing practices represent one of the key obstacles to advancing sustainability goals through green chemistry. To this end, we need to robustly link data on chemical impacts with new chemical design strategies, which requires the development of next-generation data-sharing platforms to harmonize both data and efforts. These decentralized and interactive programs should be structured as live ecosystems for data generation and exchange, inviting conversations about the reliability and relevance of information used to make decisions regarding chemical performance and safety.

Chemical Shift: Internal References and Solvent Effects
The internal reference compound generally used in NMR spectroscopy is tetramethylsilane (TMS). TMS is preferred because it is chemically inert, soluble in NMR solvents, and easily removable. Also, the highly shielded methyl protons in TMS yield an intense...
Chemical Reactions
The relative amounts of reactants and products represented in a balanced chemical equation are often referred to as stoichiometric amounts.
Chemical Bonds
Atoms participate in a chemical bond formation to acquire a completed valence-shell electron configuration similar to that of the noble gas nearest to it in atomic number. Ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds are some of the important types of chemical bonds. Bond energy and bond length determine the strength of a chemical bond.
Types of Chemical Bonds
An ionic bond is formed due to electrostatic attraction between cations and anions. Often, the ions are formed by the transfer of electrons...
