The UK's Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) has announced it has sponsored the Green Solvents and Lab Solvents mobile apps for a year. Green Solvents and Lab Solvents are innovative apps for the iOS and Android platforms that list solvents and their scores versus various environmentally relevant properties.
The apps are based on published data that had not been widely disseminated in conveniently available media. These are freely available and were developed by Dr Alex M. Clark at Molecular Materials Informatics (MMI, Montreal, Canada) after an initial idea from Dr Sean Ekins at Collaborations in Chemistry (CIC, Fuquay Varina, USA). The apps are said to be examples of how green chemistry data can be delivered to a mobile device and complement other apps such as ChemSpider Mobile, which RSC has developed with Dr Clark.
The RSC is stated to be one of the largest organisations in Europe for advancing the chemical sciences. Supported by a worldwide network of 48,000 members and an international publishing business, its activities span education, conferences, science policy and the promotion of chemistry to the public.
