Combined
Chemical Dictionary (ChemNetBase)
Online, searchable database containing six chemical dictionaries, including
the Dictionary of Organic Compounds, Dictionary of Inorganic & Organometallic
Compounds, and the Dictionary of Natural Products.
Beilstein/Gmelin
via CrossFire (Database)
Beilstein/Gmelin contains extensive information on the preparation and
properties of millions of organic compounds (Beilstein) and inorganic
and organometallic compounds (Gmelin).
Access requires separate client software, which is mounted on the standalone
workstation located near the reference desk at D. H. Hill Library.
To familiarize yourself with the use of Beilstein/Gmelin, consult the
Beilstein
and Gmelin Quick Guide (online) or the Beilstein Handbook
of Organic Chemistry, 4th ed., QD251 .B4 (print).
Index
to Physical, Chemical and Other Property Data
An extensive list of properties with listings of print and electronic
resources that contain the property information. The print resources listed
are at Arizona State University, so you will need to look them up in the
NCSU catalog. Also includes "10 Easy Tips for Finding Property Data."
ChemExper
Contains 60,000+ compounds
with their physical properties such as boiling point, melting point, IR
spectrum (5000+), MSDS (12000+), supplier information, 2D and 3D structures.
ChemFinder
NIST
Physical Reference Data
Fundamental physical constants,
atomic and molecular spectroscopic data, ionization data, etc.
NIST WebBook
Thermochemical data, reaction
thermochemistry data, IR spectra, mass spectra, electronic/vibrational
spectra, constants of diatomic molecules (spectroscopic data), ion energetics
data, thermophysical property data, structures, common and commercial
names.
