| Abstract | About 143,000 industrial chemicals have been pre-registered at the European Chemical Agency for registration according to REACH. The tools, models, and regressions employed for the chemical safety assessment of the registered compounds have limited applicability domains. Thus, it is an important question which fraction of the pre-registered compounds falls into these applicability domains.A random sample of 1,510 compounds out of the ∼117,000 chemicals pre-registered at the European Chemicals Agency and due to registration by 2010 and 2013 was analyzed to investigate the physico-chemical domain of REACH substances. The chemical structure was identified from the CAS number, and the software ACD/Labs was used to calculate dissociation constant(s) (pK $_{a}$), octanol–water partition coefficient (log P) and vapor pressure of the neutral molecule.Four hundred ninety-one (33%) of the 1,510 compounds are mostly ionized at pH 7 (i.e., acids pK $_{a}$ < 7, bases pK $_{a}$ > 7). Twenty-seven percent of compounds are acids with pK $_{a}$ < 12, 14% bases with pK $_{a}$ > 2, and 8% ampholytes or zwitterionics. Almost half of the ionizable compounds (267 out of 1,510 compounds or 18%) with pK $_{a}$ between 2 and 12 are even multivalent. There is a high occurrence of hydrophilic chemicals (30% with log P < 1), but super-lipophilic chemicals are frequent as well (10% with log P > 6). Most chemicals are non- or semi-volatile: the vapor pressure is <1 Pa for 65% and >100 Pa only for 13%.This preliminary characterization of the REACH chemical space helps to identify most urgent gaps of existing in silico tools that are going to be applied in the context of REACH. These data may also be used to select representative sets of test chemicals for the development of new QSARs and models. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
