Only few people are using InChI’s to indicate the molecules the blog about \n(prominent exceptions are Useful Chemistry and Molecule of the Day).\nConsequently, the number of detected molecules (without using OSCAR3) in Chemical blogspace has been low.

\n\n

Fortunately, many more people use links to Wikipedia to identify the molecules that talk about. And some of these pages\nuse the ChemBox template which actually might contain a\nPubChem CID or even an InChI. This has increased the\nmolecular content of Chemical blogspace considerably.

\n\n

There is also, however, a good list of molecules in Wikipedia for which no CID or InChI is given:

I really would like to start adding InChI’s for these molecules to Wikipedia, but someone needs to enlighten me about\nthe state of ChemBox? Can the InChI be added to the template, or should the InChI be given elsewhere on the page?\nAdding such small bits is easier than writing a full entry.
