RSC acquired all ChemSpider assets and we are charged with continuing to provide value to the chemistry community with ChemSpider and to expand the reach, penetration and functionality of the system for users, depositors, collaborators and integrators.

President of ChemZoo (www.chemspider.com)
ChemZoo is the host of ChemSpider. ChemSpider is an Open Access website established with the intention of creating a structure centric community for chemists. The website delivers access to over 21.5 million unique chemical structures. It is visited by over 6000 chemists per day and with over 250,000 transacations performed per week ChemSpider is fast becoming a primary resource for chemists around the world. ChemSpider is a valuable resource to assist chemists in sourcing chemicals from vendors, accessing Open Access literature and accessing information across over 150 data sources.
