Talk:Mauveine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

To generate InChI identifiers for molecules, use eg this page

InChI converter

What will be of interest is to see if a Wiki search of these strings retrieves the article correctly. See for example this article.

This would, if it works, allow molecular structure searching (but not sub-structure) in Wikipedia. It is unfortunately, currently only a matter of conjecture how many valid molecules have been deposited into Wikipedia articles. Perhaps 1000 or so? Many more? In theory, a search for the string InChI=1/ would give us an answer, assuming each molecule had an InChI!

[edit] Delay in updating the search index

From the help page, one finds this

For reasons of efficiency and priority, very recent changes are not always immediately taken into account in searchers At the moment, the search engine uses an index that isn't updated at all.

That means I could not test for an InChI.

[edit] Other synonyms: mauve aniline, violine

It seems that mauve aniline and violine were/are other common names for the dye. (Dictionary.com covers lists them as meaning the same thing). However, this 1861 article refers to violine and aniline purple as distinct, I'd guess similar but produced through different means and with somewhat different properties. Not knowing more details of the different meanings, or commonality of usage, I don't want to add something to the article that might be wrong, but thought I'd mention the terms here in case someone else knows or wants to find out more about the terms, to integrate into the article. -Agyle 22:00, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
