To use this script…

…you must first register to use the MolPort API service (which is different to your standard MolPort registration). Having done so, click on the Custom Scripts->MolPort menu item in StarDrop and when you start a search you will be prompted to login. Your details will be saved so that you need not do this every time. If you choose By Structure… then you can draw a structure and choose whether to search for an exact match, a substructure or similar compounds. Up to 1000 results will be returned in a new data set showing summary data and MolPort IDs. To get further details on one or more of the results, select the rows of interest and select the Custom Scripts->MolPort->Get Details For Selection menu. The MolPort IDs contain hyperlinks and clicking any of these will open a browser and navigate to the appropriate page on the MolPort site. If you have any difficulties with your log-in credentials after you obtain your API registration with Molport, please contact [email protected] for assistance​.
