Publications

Infochem are regularly invited to present technical papers at meetings and conferences. We use these presentations to explain our models in more detail, particularly how we have verified our predictions against experimental data. A list of the most recent or most important can be found under Presentations and many of the actual papers can be downloaded in .pdf format. If you need the Adobe Acrobat reader to view the papers this can also be downloaded here.

We also regularly send out newsletters and technical updates describing our work. The latest newsletters are posted to our website but if you would like to be on our regular mailing list please use our contact form to supply the information you would like stored on our database. If you think our publications should also be sent to a colleague please let us know.
