Chemical data and C Guide - Resources and Review

Large searchable database of experimentally determined crystal structures, with details of graphical search, retrieval and data visualisation software.
 
The BIDS RSC service provides access to seven databases supplied by The Royal Society of Chemistry, covering analytical chemistry, chemical engineering, health and safety, biotechnology, nutrition, mass spectrometry, and chemical industry news. Subscription required. Five of the databases contain bibliographic information: Analytical Abstracts (over 200,000 abstracts from 1980 onwards), Chemical Business NewsBase (over 430,000 abstracts from 1985 onwards, covering news of the worldwide chemical industry), Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology Abstracts (over 400,000 abstracts from over 500 key journals since 1970), Chemical Safety NewsBase (40,000 abstracts from 1981 onwards, covering health and safety matters), and Mass Spectrometry Bulletin (over 44,000 bibliographic records from 800 journals since 1991). The other two databases are Chemical Safety Data Sheets (safety information for 550 chemicals) and the UK Nutrient Databank (authoritative database of 60 nutrients in 3000 foods).
 
The primary aim of the CDS is to help chemists to solve their problems. This is done by providing chemical databases, help, training and information free of charge to all UK academics.
 
Data table presenting the final results of a project to establish internationally agreed values for the thermodynamic properties of key chemical substances. Use of these recommended, internally consistent values is encouraged in the analysis of thermodynamic measurements, data reduction, and preparation of other thermodynamic tables. The table includes the standard enthalpy of formation at 298.15 K, the entropy at 298.15 K, and the quantity H ° (298.15 K)
H °(0). The values given in the table represent the consensus judgement of an international group of experts.
 
Full text of IUPAC recommendations, including an illustrated glossary of class names of organic compounds and reactive intermediates based on structure, a glossary of physical organic chemistry, a list of elements in Atomic Number order, and a glossary of terms used in bioinorganic chemistry.
 
A very large and powerful chemical information system providing comprehensive information on millions of chemical substances and reactions. It is available to the UK and Irish academic communities as part of the MIMAS Service.
 
Features a database of chemical manufacturers in Japan searchable by product name, CAS Number or product category, a database of chemical related companies, news articles, headlines and back issues of the Japan Chemical Week.
 
Information about elements of the periodic table including origin, date of discovery, founder, description and image. Periodic landscapes based on ionisation energies of the elements are also included.
 
Database of commercially available solvents, detailing the formula, Chemical Abstracts number, weight, cost, and boiling and freezing points of each.
 
Database of references on atomic spectral line broadening containing numerical data, comments, and review articles. Searches can be conducted by entering title, author or year of publication. Papers without numerical data may be searched by category, such as Pressure Broadening and Articles on Doppler and Natural Line Shapes.
 
Extensive minerals database using IMA approved mineral names and varieties names, updated 1996. Includes an alphabetical list, systematic list, elements, sulfides, halides, oxides, carbonates, sulfates, phosphates, silicates, organic materials and varieties.
 
Full illustrated periodic table complete with key data (symbol, atomic number, atomic weight, group number, CAS registry ID), description, chemical data, physical data, crystal structure, isotopes, electronic, biological and geological data for every element. Elements 113
118 are included in the table at their expected positions.
 
Fact sheets about thousands of chemical substances monitored by the Environmental Protection Agency's major program systems.
 
Periodic table of the elements providing physical (electronic, thermal and steric) data, details of isotopes, and background information such as year of discovery, name origin and uses for each element. Simple and complex forms of the table are available for download as PDF files. Available in English and German.
 
Searchable library of nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopy problems, facilitating the interpretation of compound spectra. Provides a set of instructional documents, including notes on NMR solvents, types of NMR spectra, and a table of IR absorptions. Each problem shows a compound and its spectrum, together with a structure solution. Material is organised under headings 'beginning', 'intermediate' and 'advanced'.
 
Collection of chemistry images, including organic, inorganic, physical, and surface science art, with some animated and interactive images.
 
Listing of hundreds of minerals, with descriptions and specifications.
 
Collection of material providing an introduction to the field of toxicology and chemical safety. Offers information on the physical form of chemicals of which the major types are solid, liquid, gas and vapour, possible health effects of chemical substances, methods of data retrieval, details of hazard and risk assessment, and a glossary. Also provides background information about environmental toxicology and ecotoxicology.
