Structure Search​

The structure search feature allows you to search for materials using structural drawings, making it a powerful tool for dealing with complex and varying chemistries. Here’s how it enhances your material search process:

Key Benefits:

• Visual Input for Searches: Draw or input chemical structures directly, enabling accurate specification of complex molecular configurations.
• Handling Permuting Chemistries: Efficiently manage and explore multiple variations or permutations of a base structure.
• Comprehensive Searches with General Structures: For example, input the general structure of a diisocyanate in polyurethane chemistry to identify all possible diisocyanates fitting that structure.
• Combining Fixed and Variable Precursors: Pair a general structure with a specific precursor to explore potential polymer chemistries with both fixed and variable components.
• Efficiency and Precision: Enhance search efficiency and precision, reducing manual input time and ensuring no potential candidates are overlooked.
• Enhanced Research and Development: Particularly valuable in research and development, helping identify all possible variants of a compound for breakthroughs in material design and discovery.

How to Use the Structure Search Feature

You can access the Structure Search feature by going to the home page of Eureka by Patsnap and clicking on the 'Classical Search' tab, then the "Structure Search" section.

Next, you will be presented with the Marvin JS drawing tool, where you can draw or upload your desired structure to be searched:

Edit Tools - This toolbar allows you to import/save/copy/cut/paste. In addition, there are also tools to clean and edit your settings. 

Draw Tools - This toolbar provides tools to create bonds and build your structure; this includes tools for modifying atomic charges as well as pre-built ring structures.

Atoms - This is where you will find your atoms. If you need to change an atom in a structure, you can select one from the listed atoms, or - if you want to choose an element not in the list - click the icon at the top to open the full periodic table.
