About Phoenix ELN
Phoenix ELN is an open-source electronic lab notebook suited for organic, organometallic and peptide chemistry. It performs stoichiometric calculations, allows embedding elements like images and documents into the workflow and comes with an efficient integrated chemical drawing editor. It does not require a server connection to run. If optionally connected to an in-house server database, also continuous backup and data sharing are available.
As an open-source application, Phoenix ELN is available at no cost to end users.

Phoenix ELN Interface
The Phoenix ELN experiment protocol reflects the lab workflow as closely as possible. Documents and images can be inserted directly into the desired context, protocol elements can be rearranged via drag/drop. The protocol can be divided into workflow sections like reaction, workup, purification, etc.
Stoichiometric calculations are performed automatically when inserting a material. The sketch editor takes care of computing the molecular weights of reference reactant and products, while the self-larning materials database conveniently provides molecular weights and densities of the other utilized materials.
Phoenix ELN Features
Materials Database
Phoenix ELN features a self-learning materials database which comes pre-configured with nearly 200 reagents, solvents and auxiliaries with cross-checked molecular weights and densities.
Reaction Editor
The built-in reaction editor provides the ELN with molecular weights and additional information about the reaction sketch components. It supports drawing high-quality organometallic, peptide and resin-bound structures.
Experiment Context
Phoenix ELN detects all experiments containing the same reaction as the current experiment. This makes it easy to compare experiment outcomes, e.g. during optimizations. This list is sortable by yield or reaction scale.
Reaction Substructure Searches
Search for specific reactions, either within your local experiments, or across all users connected to the optional ELN server database. The results are conveniently grouped by reaction and yield. Server hits can be opened for local viewing and cloning, if desired.
Phoenix ELN Support
Phoenix ELN is hosted on GitHub, a collaborative open-source software platform. Whether you want to report a bug, suggest a new feature, or contribute to the development, the GitHub project page is the place to do it. You also can track there the status of your contributions at any time. The link below will direct you to the “Issues” section of the project, where you can create and track your bug report or feature proposal.
Please always use above link for reporting Phoenix ELN bugs or feature proposals. The ChemBytes support is meant for commercial software only. Thanks!
