It took them a few moments to recognise the potential and ChemAxon team member and programmer Andras Stracz quickly came up with “Chemicalize for WordPress” (now at version 1.0.1 after I spotted a trivial bug on alpha testing). It’s active on the Reactive Reports site right now, so if I add a sprinkling of chemical names like: aspirin, viagra, and benzene, they should be underlined. Hover over any chemical name highlighted and you should see its 2D structure courtesy of ChemAxon and a click of the structure will take you to the properties page for the compound. There’s also a tie-in between Chemicalize.org and ChemSpider.com all additional steps towards the semantic chemical web.

The team will hopefully make this WordPress plugin for chemists available to all soon, I think they’re ironing out bugs and putting together documentation. So, watch this space."
