Learning technologies

Here is a list of all sort of tools I use to (hopefully) improve the learning of Chemistry

• Source codes are available on github: https://github.com/xavierprat
   
• Collections of molecular data
  • I am the author of ChemEd X Data http://chemdata.umr.umn.edu/chemedXdata/
    This platform allows students investigate what key properties play a role in physico-chemical properties such as boiling points, heat capacities, pKas...etc.
  • When I was a postdoc at JW Moore's lab I wrote Models 360
    This is the official site (the server may be down) www.chemeddl.org/resources/models360/
    So here's a local copy that I keep http://chemdata.r.umn.edu/resources/models360/
• Jmol tools
  • Display with Jmol any set of molecules and show their geometric or electrostatic properties
    http://chemdata.r.umn.edu/jmol/
  • Jmol and JSME:  2D to 3D: http://chemdata.r.umn.edu/jmol/2d_3d.html
  • Jmol, JSME and NMR: http://chemdata.r.umn.edu/jmol/nmr.html
  • Hydrogen orbitals and their radial distribution functions http://chemdata.umr.umn.edu/chem2331/orbitals/h.html
  • A much better jmol application displaying hydrogen orbitals is:
    J. Chem. Educ. 2013, 90, 1, 129 Interactive Web-Based Pointillist Visualization of Hydrogenic Orbitals Using Jmol. Shane P. Tully, Thomas M. Stitt, Robert D. Caldwell, Brian J. Hardock, Robert M. Hanson, and Przemyslaw Maslak The code can be obtained from Supp.Info but the jmol version must be updated. http://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/ed300393s
    I have a working version on my server http://chemdata.r.umn.edu/chem2331/rdf/
