Reaxys
Reaxys provides access to the Beilstein and Gmelin databases, as well as a patent chemistry database. Reaxys is a web-based search and retrieval system for chemical compounds, bibliographic data,chemical patent information, and chemical reactions. Reaxys contains pharmacological, ecotoxicological, and toxicological data; specific bioassay results; and logPs, toxicity values, and other valuable data.
Reaxys supercedes access to the Beilstein and Gmelin databases via the Crossfire Commander interface. As of December 2010 Elsevier no longer supports access via the Crossfire Commander.
