I need help with the creation of new components. I have to create NONIL FENOL, i have some of the properties that the program ask me for, but there are a lot of things that i dont know. Can someone help me???

I expect we can help you.

It would help if we knew what "nonil fenol" was? Are you referring to nonylphenol (C15H24O, a C9 substituted phenol)?

It would also help to know what properties the program wants to know.

Have you searched the literature and decided the properties in question aren't available from the literature, or are you looking for help with a literature search.

This is all the information i have about nonilphenol:

See this link (is in spanish)

My problem is that i dont know how to build the molecule's structure in Aspen Plus. I dont understand how the simulator works in that aspect. dont understand the work enviroment to build the structure.

i'm at the office right now, but when i'll get home i'll tell you all the properties that the simulator wants to know

Unfortunately, I can't help you with the Aspen plus issues -- I don't use the simulator. I do note that DIPPR's database has an entry for nonylphenol with the same CAS number as listed in your MSDS. If aspen plus has DIPPr's database built into it, or if you have access to DIPPR's database, you might look there to see if the properties in question are listed.

you can draw the molecule in chemsketch or isis-draw. then import the *.mol file into aspen. it's much more easier to create a molecule this way.
