Color Coding System for Simplifying IFI Chemical Fragmentation Code Searching Talk from 218th ACS Meeting


Original Abstract:
The IFI comprehensive file is one of the few electronic sources that allow for a form of chemical structure searching back to the 1950's. This chemical structure searching takes the form of a chemical fragmentation system which allows for the searching of generic or prophetic chemical substances within granted US patents.

While powerful, the system is perhaps underutilized since chemical fragmentation coding systems are difficult to use and learn. This presentation will focus on a method for creating IFI fragmentation code queries that takes advantage of the IFIREF file and a color coding scheme which makes generation of these strategies easier to keep track of.

This one is a little bit of ancient history. I agreed to chair my first session for an ACS meeting and I was also giving my first solo paper during the session. I was pretty nervous and frankly while I think this particular presentation is fairly useful to those people who use IFI frag codes overall I have to say that it was not the most influential thing I ever wrote.
