Goals of This Presentation • Background: “Data-Driven” Chemistry • Origin of the Cool. Molecules Project • Goals of the Project • Project Outcomes • Future Directions
Background: “Data-Driven” Chemistry generate data extrapolate hypotheses analyze data generate hypotheses
Background: “Data-Driven Chemistry” • Start with raw data • Transform the data into meaningful information • Create actual paper 3 D model R. M. Hanson, S. A. Bergman, "Data-Driven Chemistry: Making Molecular Models (Literally) from Electron Diffraction Data”, J. Chem. Educ. 1994, 150
Background: “Molecular Origami” • St. Olaf College Chemistry 123 • Start with handheld models • Develop concepts as needed http: //www. stolaf. edu/people/hansonr/mo/acs 2001

Background: “Molecular Origami” 150, 000: 1 hydrodroxyapatite model (New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York, NY) http: //www. stolaf. edu/people/hansonr/mo
Background: focus on analysis generate data (experimental) analyze data (identify trends) extrapolate hypothesis (predict shapes) generate hypothesis (explain shapes and trends)
Origin of the Project: BCCE 17 Molecular Origami (Bob Hanson) + Crystal Structure Database (Scot Wherland) = Cool. Molecules: A Molecular Structure Explorer http: //www. stolaf. edu/depts/chemistry/mo/struc
Goals of the Cool. Molecules Project • Expand Scot’s database • Include foldable “Molecular Origami” models • Create a widely available, easy interface for searching the experimental data • Provide strategies for making the database useful in a classroom setting
