Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Template {{Chembox}} is an infobox for chemicals. It has a large number of options to add relevant data and images. The infobox is organized in sections like "identifiers" and "hazards".

Usage

The Chembox has a modular design. After the general information like the chemical name and images, it can be built from multiple sections, each covering a group of information (like "pharmacology"). Depending on the compound, sections can be added or left out, and within a section parameters can be added or omitted (left blank).

The sections and their parameters are listed below.

Within the general chembox template (with its own parameters like |ImageFile= and |IUPACName=), each section is added with this pattern (as the value of a parameter |Sectionx=.

{{Chembox
| ImageFile      = 
| IUPACName      = 
<!-- more general Chembox parameters here -->
| Section1       = {{Chembox Identifiers
| CASNo          = 
| PubChem        = 
<!-- more Identifier parameters here -->
  }}
}}

In this format, spaces and new lines have no meaning and can be used freely to separate sections (though within a data value, a space has a meaning, except generally leading and trailing spaces). Each section has its own number in |Section#=. Then a section is defined with "|Section# = {{Chembox " and ends with "}}". Sections cannot 'nest': one must close one section with }} before adding another |Section#= {{Chembox ....

Keep in mind the advice in the main Infobox documentation to use the {{Unbulleted list}} template to present multiple values for a parameter so as to ensure that the values are each started on a new line and tagged appropriately in the underlying markup. This is particularly important with parameters like |OtherNames=, since many names use commas within them, and using commas as separators leads to ambiguity. For example:

| OtherNames     = {{Unbulleted list
  | 2,4,6(1''H'',3''H'',5''H'')-pyrimidinetrione
  | 2,4,6-trioxohexahydropyrimidine
  | pyrimidinetriol
  | malonylurea
  | 6-hydroxyuracil
  | ''N'',''N''-(1,3-dioxo-1,3-propanediyl)urea
  }}

Overview (index numbers 2-3-4 omitted): | CASNo = | CASNo1 = | CASNo5 = | CASNoOther = | ChEBI = | ChEBI1 = | ChEBI5 = | ChEBIOther = | ChEMBL = | ChEMBL1 = | ChEMBL5 = | ChEMBLOther = | ChemSpiderID = | ChemSpiderID1 = | ChemSpiderID5 = | ChemSpiderIDOther = | DrugBank = | DrugBank1 = | DrugBank5 = | DrugBankOther = | InChI = | InChI1 = | InChI5 = | InChIOther = | KEGG = | KEGG1 = | KEGG5 = | KEGGOther = | PubChem = | PubChem1 = | PubChem5 = | PubChemOther = | SMILES = | SMILES1 = | SMILES5 = | SMILESOther = | UNII = | UNII1 = | UNII5 = | UNIIOther = | 3DMet= | 3DMet1= | 3DMet5= | 3DMetOther= | EC_number1= | EC_number5= | EC_numberOther= | RTECS1= | RTECS5= | RTECSOther=

Indexed parameters take indexes 'blank', 1–5 (six options together). They should have straight input, such as a correct CAS Registry Number.

• Eight base parameters are indexed this way, all identifiers:

CASNo, ChEBI, ChEMBL, ChemSpiderID, DrugBank, InChI, KEGG, PubChem, SMILES, UNII, 3DMet, EC_number, RTECS

• Then |_Other= (like |CASNoOther=) is available for free text input.

Same substance, same index

When the chembox has multiple substances, you can use the index. Make sure that |CASNo3= and |SMILES3= are about the same substance, and |CASNo3= and |SMILES2= are not. Treat index "0" the same way:

|CASNo= is |InChI= is |SMILES=

|CASNo1= is |InChI1= is |SMILES1=

|CASNo= is not |InChI1= is not |SMILES4=

Labeling the substances

By using a parameter like |index2_label=, you can prefix every #2-input with that same prefix.

{{chembox
| Name           = [[Linalool]]
|Section1        = {{Chembox Identifiers
| index_label    =

• For specific additions, each parameter has a |_Comment= option.

| CASNo_Comment  = 
| CASNo1_Comment = 
| CASNo5_Comment =

• Use of the |CASNo_Ref={{cascite|correct|CAS}} parameter with argument places a small, green check mark,  ^Y , after the CAS No., which indicates that an editor has confirmed that the CAS No. is correct. A red x in an infobox that follows any identifier means it has not been verified. See WP:CHEMVAL for more details.

Section subtemplates

The following section subtemplates are available:

• {{Chembox Identifiers}}
• {{Chembox Properties}}
• {{Chembox Structure}}
• {{Chembox Thermochemistry}}
• {{Chembox Explosive}}
• {{Chembox Pharmacology}}
• {{Chembox Hazards}}
• {{Chembox Related}}

And the automated section, that is visible when 'pagename (data page)' exists:

• {{Chembox Supplement}}

See these subsections for their parameter options.

The order of these sections in the infobox is set by the section number (|Section#=) only. Not by the typed sequence. This documentation keeps this arbitrary order:

| Section1 = {{Chembox Identifiers}}
| Section2 = {{Chembox Properties}}
| Section3 = {{Chembox Structure}}
| Section4 = {{Chembox Thermochemistry}}
| Section5 = {{Chembox Explosive}}
| Section6 = {{Chembox Pharmacology}}
| Section7 = {{Chembox Hazards}}
| Section9 = {{Chembox Related}}

Sections that are not used can be safely removed, renumbering is not necessary.

Container only

{{Chembox}} can be used to show a subsection only, for example Section3={{Chembox Hazards|...}}. When set |container_only=yes: The main {{Chembox}} is not tracked at all (image checks, bot validation categories, etc.), and the Footer (with STP notice) is suppressed. Example: Bromine#Biological role and toxicity. The article will be listed in Category:Chembox container only (47).

Automatic generation

The Wikipedia Drugbox and Chembox Maker can be used to automatically generate chembox templates. For quicker access, this tool can be added to the tools section of Wikipedia's left sidebar via User:Qwerfjkl/scripts/chemboxmaker. The Wikipedia template filling tool by Diberri and Boghog is another option for automatic chembox generation but fills fewer fields.

Adding images

Except where otherwise noted, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C [77 °F], 100 kPa). Infobox references

{{Chembox
| ImageFile      = Furfural.svg
| ImageAlt       = Skeleton formula of a ring of four carbons and one oxygen, with a carbon-oxygen attached to a carbon next to an oxygen
| ImageClass = skin-invert
| ImageFile1     = Furfural-3D-vdW.png
| ImageAlt1      = 3D filled-sphere model of the same molecule
}}

This gives two images, each image on his own row (note, ImageFile is the first image, ImageFile1 is the second).

Adding two images, side by side (L1 and R1):

Chembox

Supplementary data page

Except where otherwise noted, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C [77 °F], 100 kPa). Infobox references

{{Chembox

| ImageAltL1     = Skeleton formula of a ring of four carbons and one oxygen, with a carbon-oxygen attached to a carbon next to an oxygen
| ImageClassL1   = skin-invert
| ImageFileR1    = Furfural-3D-vdW.png
| ImageAltR1     = 3D filled-sphere model of the same molecule
}}

This gives one row with two images. Note that ImageFile is now not supplied.

Multiple images

Chembox image ordering

row 1	ImageFile
row 2	ImageFile1
row 3	ImageFileL1	ImageFileR1
row 4	ImageFile2
row 5	ImageFileL2	ImageFileR2
row 6	ImageFile3
row 7	ImageFileL3	ImageFileR3

This gives the possibility to play a bit with which image is first (rows with empty parameters are not displayed). Example:

Troubleshooting

• When supplying a parameter with a value, and nothing or the wrong value shows up, check:

• Is the parameter placed in the correct section?
• Are the sections properly defined? Sections start with | Section# = {{Chembox sectionname |" and end with "}}".
• Is there inconsistency in the Section numbering? Available numbers for sections are 1–9.

TemplateData for Chembox

TemplateData for this template used by TemplateWizard, VisualEditor and other tools

An infobox for chemicals. It has a large number of options to add relevant data and images. The Chembox has a modular design. After the general information like the chemical name and images, it can be built from multiple sections, each covering a group of information (like "pharmacology"). Depending on the compound, sections can be added or left out, and within a section parameters can be added or omitted (left blank). Please see this template's page for full documentation. Template parameters[Edit template data] This template has custom formatting. Parameter Description Type Status Width width The overall width of the box; the default is normally fine.
