Chemistry Subject Guide
The CSD records bibliographic, chemical and crystallographic information for small organic molecules and metal-organic compounds.
WebCSD has a built-in editor for structure/similarity searching, plus JMol and AstexViewer. Because this is a Java application, it may run slow at the beginning of your session. If you continue to have problems with Web CSD running too slowly, please refer to the FAQ page for possible solutions.
WebCSD is not a complete substitute for the locally installed version of the database that UCSC researchers can download from the CSD page at UCLA. Power users should consider downloading and installing CSD on their own computers.
Dictionary-style entries for over 350,000 chemical names, over 58,000 of which are enhanced with chemical structures.
Find chemical and physical property data, spectra, etc. Search by chemical species or related data.
Searchable reference source which includes the following: Combined Chemical Dictionary (CCD) Dictionary of Commonly Cited Compounds, Dictionary of Drugs (Formerly Pharmasource) Dictionary of Inorganic and Organometallic Compounds, Dictionary of Natural Products, Dictionary of Organic Compounds, The Handbook of Chemistry & Physics, Polymers: A Property Database, and Properties of Organic Compounds.
A bioinformatics and cheminformatics resource that combines detailed drug (i.e. chemical, pharmacological and pharmaceutical) data with comprehensive drug target (i.e. sequence, structure and pathway) information.
Search inorganic structures, including elements, minerals, metals, and intermetallic compounds. Search by article citation information , chemical/mineral name, crystal system, space group, minimum distance, cell size/mass, and Pearson Symbol.
Reaxys is the web-based successor to the Crossfire Beilstein/Gmelin system, and provides access to organic, inorganic and organometallic chemical structures, reactions, and properties contained in the Beilstein and Gmelin databases plus selective journal and patent literature.
Reaxys is a key tool for researchers who are investigating synthesis methods for chemical compounds, characterizing synthesized compounds, or searching for critically evaluated data on physical, chemical, spectral, bioactivity, or toxicological properties.
This is a reference work of "the most reliable and effective synthetic methods from the chemical literature": 26,000 methods with more than 250,000 reactions for 2,700 different types of organic compounds. Accompanied by reaction schemes, examples and experimental procedures. The Electronic Backfile, also included, provides access to product specific experimental procedures, structures, and references dating back to the early 1800s.
Access to this subscription is available during 2011 only.
About 10,000 compounds' spectra, searchable by name, CAS RN, molecular formula, etc.
This method will work as long as the SpringerMaterials search engine remains freely available.
