WebSpectra - a site established to provide chemistry students
with a library of spectroscopy problems. Interpretation of spectra is a technique
that requires practice - this site provides 1H NMR and 13C NMR, DEPT, COSY
and IR spectra of various compounds for students to interpret.

Chemical Drawing Programs (Freeware)

ChemWeb is a chemical structure drawing program for Windows or Macintosh. The program
helps you draw and save structures as GIF files making it easy to publish and distribute 2-D
structure files over the World-Wide Web. ChemWeb is also a demonstation version of
ChemWindow 3.1 and ChemIntosh 3.4, because it cannot copy, print, or save in any file
format other than GIF. Thousands of users have already downloaded ChemWeb. If you
need structures for your chemistry web site, we encourage you to take advantage of this free offer.
Download ChemWeb today.

Advanced Chemistry Development has a number of freeware programs in Windows format.  These include:
ChemSketch 4.5 Freeware, I-Lab Add-on for ChemSketch, ChemBasic for ChemSketch 4.5 (includes up-dated
GOODIES package), Web-based IUPAC Naming software, SpecViewer 4.5 Freeware, CNMR and HNMR Viewers
4.5 Freeware, Structure Drawing Applet 1.30, User's guides, etc.

NSF-REU program (National Science Foundation-Research Experiences for Undergraduates)
         The NSF supports 55 REU Sites in chemistry departments in universities and colleges in 36 states.  Most sites offer research across the principal subdisciplines of chemistry -- organic, inorganic, physical, analytical and biochemistry.  A few may have a special topical focus or a particular focus in recruitment of students.  If you are interested in other fields a contents page has listings (with web links) for many other areas (e.g., Atmospheric Sciences, Biological Sciences, Computer and Information Science and Engineering, Earth Sciences, Engineering, Mathematical Sciences, Ocean Sciences, Physics, Materials, Astronomy, etc.).
