Polymer searching SF-hbz meeting 2010. Agenda. Polymer registrations in SciFinder Polymer Registry display Searching polymers Refine and categorize. Polymer registrations in SciFinder I. The CAS Registry file contains over 52 million small molecules
E N D
Agenda • Polymer registrations in SciFinder • Polymer Registry display • Searching polymers • Refine and categorize SciFinder is a registered trademark of the American Chemical Society
Polymer registrations in SciFinder I • The CAS Registry file contains over 52 million small molecules • CAS assigns a specific CAS Registry number for each polymer based on its monomers or sometimes on the structural repeating unit (SRU) SciFinder is a registered trademark of the American Chemical Society
Polymer registrations in SciFinder II - Details • The CAS Registry Number for a polymer is specific to the building blocks (monomers) of the polymer • Polymers with specified stereochemistry (tacticity) are registered separately • Block, graft or alternating polymers are registered separately (since 1986) • No influence on registration: • The molecular weight (distribution) • number of repeating units • component ratio • physical characteristics • initiators or catalysts used SciFinder is a registered trademark of the American Chemical Society
Agenda • Polymer registrations in SciFinder • Polymer Registry display • Searching polymers • Refine and categorize SciFinder is a registered trademark of the American Chemical Society
Polymer Registry display This CAS Registry number defines the polymer registration with its tacticity. The CAS RN is linked to 6 references SciFinder is a registered trademark of the American Chemical Society
Agenda • Polymer registrations in SciFinder • Polymer Registry display • Searching polymers • MF (Molecular Formula) • Structure repeating Unit (SRU) • Exact structure • Substructure • Topic • Refine and categorize SciFinder is a registered trademark of the American Chemical Society
Searching by MF • For addition polymers and most condensation polymers put the molecular formula of the monomers, separated by dots, within brackets and close with an “X” • (C8H8)x for styrene homopolymer • (C8H8 . C5H8)x for styrene-isoprene polymers • For structural repeating units of symmetric condensation polymers put the formula of the repeating unit within brackets and close with an “N” • (C14H12O4)n for polybutylene terephthalate • (C2H4O)nCH4O for -methyl--hydroxy PE SciFinder is a registered trademark of the American Chemical Society
Searching by MF - Example (C8H8 . C5H8)x I SciFinder is a registered trademark of the American Chemical Society
Searching by MF - Example (C8H8 . C5H8)x II Names are per default included in the display SciFinder is a registered trademark of the American Chemical Society
Searching by MF • A molecular formula explore may include several structural isomers • To exclude unwanted isomers consider refining by exact structure • Multiple structures can be included in one refine step • Refine can also be used to eliminate radio labeled monomers SciFinder is a registered trademark of the American Chemical Society
Searching by MF - Refining by structure I SciFinder is a registered trademark of the American Chemical Society
Searching by MF - Refining by structure II SciFinder is a registered trademark of the American Chemical Society
Searching by MF - Refining by structure III SciFinder is a registered trademark of the American Chemical Society
Find alternative starting materials • For producing polybutylene terephthalate (PBT, RN 24968-12-5) there may be various starting materials • These would all have their own CAS RN • We locate some of these CAS RN’s in SciFinder to start a more comprehensive polymer search SciFinder is a registered trademark of the American Chemical Society
Search by SRU of PBT I References were limited to the preparation of polybutylene terephthalate SciFinder is a registered trademark of the American Chemical Society
References were limited to the preparation of polybutylene terephthalate and entries from 2005- Search by SRU of PBT II SciFinder is a registered trademark of the American Chemical Society
Finding related registrations • Related registrations are often indexed in the same references as the SRU • Use the Get Related function to obtain a list of all prepared substances in these references • Number of references need to be <1000 • Refine by publication year range if necessary • Run a structure search on the fragments of the starting material • Select the relevant monomer registrations SciFinder is a registered trademark of the American Chemical Society
Search by SRU of PBT III - related polymers SciFinder is a registered trademark of the American Chemical Society
Search by SRU of PBT IV- related polymers- refine SciFinder is a registered trademark of the American Chemical Society

Other starting materials • Selected polymers based on other starting materials • Acid chlorides, esters, butyl ester of terephthalic acid, etc • Some are copolymers with polybutylene glycol • Found : • No additional components 5 polymers linked to 19552 references • With additional components 100 polymers linked to 21 094 references • The SRU is linked to 19,191 references • If you need the SRU for your polymer please contact CAS helpdesk (help@cas.org) SciFinder is a registered trademark of the American Chemical Society
Search by exact structure I • Polymers can be searched by their exact structure of the monomers • Doesn’t work for the SRU’s • Draw the structures of the monomers as individual entities • Select exact structure search to block further substitution • De-select “Include additional components” if no further monomers can be included SciFinder is a registered trademark of the American Chemical Society
Search by exact structure II –Styrene-Isoprene polymers SciFinder is a registered trademark of the American Chemical Society
Search by exact structure IIIStyrene-Isoprene polymers Not checked! SciFinder is a registered trademark of the American Chemical Society
With additional components: 750 Not possible to limit the maximum number of components SciFinder is a registered trademark of the American Chemical Society
Without addl. components: 27 May include some oligomers and radio-labeled compounds SciFinder is a registered trademark of the American Chemical Society
