Chemical Information Resources

How to use printed Chemical Abstracts at UT: This guide will help you use the printed Chemical Abstracts to find citations in the chemical literature. Contains material specific to the University of Toledo, but will give anyone a guide to all of the separate parts of CA and how to use them. An example of a search is included, as well as supplementary material from the Chemical Abstract Service.
SciFinder Scholar 2004: Electronic version of the Chemical Abstracts database. Download instructions for University of Toledo Faculty, Staff, & Students.
CAS Title Search: Keyword search of titles (and abbreviations) of journals indexed in Chemical Abstracts.
Finding Chemical Information: A guide to the use of basic chemistry reference sources prepared by the University of Texas chemistry library. Contains both extensive bibliographies and "how to's". Remember to check your own library to see if you have access to the same sources.
ThermoDex Search Page: An index to the thermodynamic properties listed in over 70 common handbooks, prepared by the Univeristy of Texas Chemisty Library. Many of these will be available at Toledo. (Note: "UT" on this site refers to the University of Texas, not University of Toledo!)
IUPAC Compendium of Chemical Terminology: Authoritative definitions of chemical terminology.
CIS-IU Home Page: Chemical Information Sources from Indiana University is a guide to information science (or library science) in chemistry. It includes guides to printed material and instructions for online searching to find chemical information.

Chemistry-Related Databases

SciFinder Scholar 2004: Electronic version of the Chemical Abstracts database. Download instructions for University of Toledo Faculty, Staff, & Students.
ChemFinder: This isn't a database itself so much as it is a chemical search engine on the Web. It indexes hundreds of chemical information sites, and is searchable by name, name fragment, formula, molecular weight (including ranges), Chemical Abstracts Registry number, and structure in SMILES format. The information it returns includes links back to the original databases.
Organic Compounds Database: This database of physical and spectroscopic data on organic compounds is searched by way of an extensive form. You can specify ranges of physical properties, organic groups, or partials names to search for a list of compounds. The data is compiled from authoratative, standard sources.
NIST WebBook: The NIST WebBook will provide access to the full array of data compiled and distributed by NIST under the Standard Reference Data Program. It features especially thermochemical and thermophysical data, as well as IR and MS spectra. All of the information is fully referenced (and cross referenced) to the journal literature.
Abbreviations of Chemical Compounds: A searchable database of common chemical abbreviations for molecules (e.g. DMSO), ligands or substituents (e.g. Ph), or chemical classes, (e.g. PCB's). A handy reference.
CHEMINDEX Database: From the Canadian Occupational Safety and Health department, this database is good way to find synonyms and CAS Registry numbers for over 200,000 substances.
Environmental Fate Databases: A database of the environmental fate of common chemicals, with references to the literature.
Experimental Log P (Octanol-Water) Database: A database of over 13,000 LogP values from the experimental literature. Searchable by Chemical Abstract Registry Number, this resource will give the LogP value of the octanol/water partition coefficient for organic compounds. (Thanks to Dr. Kenneth Bachmann for bringing this resource to my attention.)
Protein Databank: Search for x-ray or NMR structures of proteins by keyword, author, or other criteria, to be displayed on your browser. (Plugin may be required to view). A simple form to the same type of data can be found at Molecules R Us from the NIH.
PROWL: A free, accessible World Wide Web resource for protein mass spectrometry and analysis.
SIS, NLM Chemical Structure Searching Server
Chemical Physics Preprint Database: Preprints are a popular form of publication in physics. They are essentially unpublished (prepublished) journal articles, that are distributed before publication for wide dissemination of ideas in a fast moving discipline. This archive provides access to preprints in chemical physics.
SDBS Integrated Spectral Data Base System for Organic Compounds: SDBS is an integrated spectral database system for organic compounds, which includes 6 different types of spectra (C13-NMR, H-NMR, MS, IR, Ramen, and ESR) under a directory database of the compounds.

Chemical Hazard/Toxicology Information

Chemical Health and Safety Information- Touring the Internet: Overview of information available online, from CHEMTECH, November, 1999.
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs)
The Chemical Scorecard: From the Environmental Defense Fund, provides an interface for Toxic Release data from the EPA. You can find out who is dumping what, where, and how you can do something about it.
EXTOXNET - The EXtension TOXicology NETwork: Database of environmental toxicology documents
RTK - Hazardous Substance Fact Sheets
NIOSH/Database Page: Index of Databases available from the National Institute on Occupational Safety and Health
Agency for Toxic Substances and Diseases: Good safety information for hazardous substances, in clear and easy to understand language. All of the agencies documents can be retrieved through a full text search.

Patent and Chemical Industry Information

Chemical Industry: A search engine and web directory for the chemical industry.
WWW Chemicals: A combined catalog of 20+ chemical companies, as well as a Chemicals Wanted listing, generic MSDS sheets, and a directory of chemical companies.
U.S. Patents: Search the full text of U.S. patents from between 1976 - Present. The first page of the patents can be displayed in HTML, but this has all of the bibliographic information, the patent inventor and assignee, as well as the references cited by the patent. Page images are available in TIFF format, but a special viewer is required. (See site for download instructions.)
