The problem is that due to modern organic techniques it is quite possible to create very large numbers of chemicals in a very short length of time. This is generaly used in combination with very narrow screening so unless you think "Chemical X does not inhibit cell function y" is a valid article
It is.
What you don't attempt is to write an separate article for every single chemical.
Why not?
Because perma-substubs are pretty much useless and if the article reads "Chemical X has a positive dielectric anisotropy of 0.1" then for fairly obvious reasons the chemical is unlikely to be the target of future research so little hope for expansion. An article about the family of chemicals it is part of is far far more useful.
