What is HyperChem Data?

HyperChem Data is a database package for use with HyperChem.  It allows you to easily  create, save and print molecular images and chemical properties, and it allows you to efficiently query large databases for molecular information.

HyperChem Data 3.0 comes with a database of over 10,000 molecules, with IUPAC names, synonyms, formulae, and molecular weights and structure,  predrawn and immediately accessible for use in the program and in HyperChem Professional.

Molecular Automation with HyperChem Data!

HyperChem Data includes three main functions:

HyperChem Data provides drawing tools that can be used to create any molecular system in the HyperChem Data workspace.  Molecules can be saved in a variety of formats.

HyperChem Data has full database functionality.  It can be used to store molecular systems and properties. Users can display any molecule and its properties or search a database to retrieve a set of molecules that satisfy search conditions.

HyperChem Data can invoke HyperChem and request it to calculate molecular properties for a query set of molecules.

HyperChem Data databases are saved in the Microsoft Access® 97 Database format (*.mdb).  An *.mdb file may contain multiple tables, and each table can have many defined fields.  You can define your fields, such as molecular name, molecular property, weight, etc., according to your particular requirements.  

Additionally, you may include HyperChem state variables in the database, and they can then be automatically imported into HyperChem Data by running a HyperChem script.

HyperChem Data Communicates With HyperChem Professional

      When you have HyperChem installed on your computer, you will have the ability to compute molecular properties over a set of molecules from the database.  As an example, you can import molecular structures from the database to HyperChem, run scripts within HyperChem that optimize the molecular structure, and then import the optimized structure and the calculated molecular properties of that structure back into HyperChem Data.
