Databases
ChemSpider is a free chemical information database providing access to data for 58 million chemical substances obtained from hundreds of data sources.
For more than a century, the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics has been a trusted source of reliable scientific data. It contains thousands of physical and chemical data tables which are reviewed and updated on an ongoing basis
EROS contains detailed information on more than 4,500 reagents and catalysts that are used in organic synthesis. Approximately 100 new and updated articles are added each year.
Publication coverage: 1800s - present (varies by country; updated weekly)
The largest public patent database on the internet, Espacenet contains more than 100 million patent documents from more than 90 countries including Canada and the U.S., plus 2 million records for non-patent literature cited in EPO search reports.Publication coverage: 1896 - present
Inspec is a multidisciplinary database covering the literature of physics, electrical engineering, electronics, mechanical and production engineering, communications and computing dating back to 1896.Publication coverage: Varies by title
Knovel is a searchable database of more than 5,000 engineering and applied science handbooks and other reference works.Publication coverage: 2000 - 2015
Methods in Organic Synthesis was discontinued in 2015. It provided graphical abstracts of the most important current developments in the field as well as new synthetic advances, including reaction schemes. Entries are indexed by reaction, reactant and reagent.
