Chemical Information Guides and Databases

SciFinder This link opens in a new window
SciFinder is a research discovery application that provides integrated access to the world's most comprehensive and authoritative source of references, substances and reactions in chemistry and related sciences. Logins and client software provided by the Chemistry Department and are NOT available directly through Foley.
SciFinder is a product of the American Chemical Society’s Chemical Abstracts Services division.
CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics This link opens in a new window
The Handbook of Chemistry and Physics is an online, fully searchable data reference book of chemical information used by scientists worldwide. The Handbook regularly updates existing tables with the most current data and introduces new topics of interest to the scientific community.

Cambridge Crystallographic Data Center Solutions
CCDC provide a range of solutions and services to meet the requirements of scientists, from free-to-use data and tools to licensed packages for in-depth analysis and advanced visualisation.
CAS Common Chemistry
An open community resource for accessing chemical information. Nearly 500,000 chemical substances from CAS Registry cover areas of community interest, including common and frequently regulated chemicals. This chemical information, curated by expert scientists, is provided in alignment with the mission of the American Chemical Society.
ChemIDplus
A dictionary of over 400,000 chemicals (names, synonyms, and structures). ChemIDplus includes links to NLM and other databases and resources, including links to federal, state and international agencies. ChemIDplus is a product of the NIH.
ChemView
This open database provides information on chemical health and safety data received by the US EPA and EPA's assessments and regulatory actions for specific chemicals under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). ChemView contains no confidential business information (CBI).
EarthChem
EarthChem supports innovation and advances in the Earth, Ocean, and Environmental Sciences through data services: data mining and analysis, preservation, and publication.
NIST Chemistry WebBook
The National Institute of Science & Technology Chemistry WebBook is an open database that provides convenient access to a variety of physical and chemical property data on well defined chemical species and reactions. The site is used by scientists, engineers, educators and the general public.
Organic Syntheses
Since 1921, Organic Syntheses has provided the chemistry community with detailed, reliable, and carefully checked procedures for the synthesis of organic compounds. Each procedure is written in considerably more detail as compared to typical experimental procedures in other journals, and each reaction with its characterization data has been repeated several times and carefully "checked" for reproducibility in the laboratory of a member of the Board of Editors.

Open Access Computational Platforms and Toolkits for Chemistry

WolframAlpha: Chemistry
WolframAlpha is a computational knowledge engine that generates output by doing computations from its own internal knowledge base, instead of searching the web and returning links. This page is for WolframAlpha tools specifically for chemistry, including chemical properties, quantities, compounds, solutions, and more.
KnowledgeDoor
KnowledgeDoor is an open access virtual depot of constants, conversion factors, and mathematical equations. It includes calculators, an Elements Handbook, and a Units and Constants Handbook.
Photographic Periodic Table of the Elements
Offers quick and easy factual information and images of the elements in the Periodic Table.
Dynamic Periodic Table
Comprehensive information source on the elements in the periodic table.
