Cambridge Structural Database
Crystal structure information for over 190,000 organic and metal organic compounds and is the largest database of experimentally determined organic and metallo-organic crystal structures in the world. It is a suite of graphical search, retrieval, data manipulation and visualisation software
CrossFire
access to the Beilstein and Gmelin databases, the most complete collections of structures, properties, and references to the literature in organic and inorganic chemistry. (Password required, client software must be installed on user's computer)
Houben-Weyl
Contains over 146,000 experimental synthetic procedures, 580,000 structures and 700,000 references in synthetic organic chemistry dating from the 1800s. System Requirements: Structure-search is available using various structure-drawing software: Java Applet, ISIS/Draw and ChemDraw. If you wish to use ISIS/Draw for the (sub-) structure search module, the local installation of a client plugin is required. Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or above is required.
InfoTrac OneFile
basic chemistry journals. All ACS and IEEE journals are indexes as well as a number of other titles such as Science, Nature, PNAS, and Scientific American. There are extensive abstracts for many articles
Ingenta/Uncover
An automated alerting service that delivers the table of contents of your favorite periodicals directly to your e-mail box. Allows creation of search strategies for favorite topics
PubChem
Provides information on the biological activities of small molecules. This database is organized as three linked databases within the National Center for Biotechnology Information's (NCBI) Entrez retrieval system. Search unique chemical structures, chemical substance records and bioassay records. PubChem is also searchable by chemical structure queries.
Science of Synthesis
The premier reference source for organic and organometallic synthetic strategies. Search over 18,000 reactions and 80,000 structures. In addition, access to the entire archive of the classic reference work Houben-Weyl is available. Houben-Weyl contains over 146,000 experimental synthetic procedures, 580,000 structures and 700,000 references in synthetic organic chemistry dating from the 1800s. System Requirements: Structure-search is available using various structure-drawing software: Java Applet, ISIS/Draw and ChemDraw. If you wish to use ISIS/Draw for the (sub-) structure search module, the local installation of a client plugin is required. Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or above is required.
SciFinder Scholar 2000
Largest substance database with more than 26 million substances -- including 12 million organic substances. It is also the world's most comprehensive database of chemical literature and patents
Web of Science
Provides access to the Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Sciences Citation Index and Arts & Humanities Citation Index
