Comprehensive List of all Rutgers Databases
For this assignment, note in particular:
Cambridge Structural Database
Repository of highly curated small-molecule organic and metal-organic crystal structures, which may be viewed in 3-D. It contains over 1 million entries from x-ray and neutron diffraction analyses, and approximately 50,000 structures are added per year. These new structures are deposited by researchers from around the world.
You will need to download software in order to do advanced structural searches. Go to https://www.libraries.rutgers.edu/csd-download-info and after logging in with your NetID and Password. You will see site and license key information needed for the CSD downloads.
CAS SciFinder
Index of worldwide chemistry literature accompanied by chemical structures, reactions, suppliers, biosequences, and retrosynthetic analyses. Registration required.
On demand training for SciFinder-n is available at https://www.cas.org/support/training/scifinder-n. Please email laura.palumbo@rutgers.edu with any questions about SciFinder-n.
The Merck Index
Source of information on chemicals, drugs, and biologicals. It includes substance monographs, named reactions, and reference tables. It is regularly updated with accurate information curated by chemistry and pharmacology experts.
PubChem
Collection of freely accessible chemical information managed by the U.S. National Institutes of Health. Records are contributed by hundreds of data sources, including government agencies, chemical vendors, journal publishers, and more. Allows you to search chemicals by name, molecular formula, structure, and other identifiers.
Reaxys
Provides information on millions of chemical structures, reactions, and properties for organic, organometallic, inorganic, and medicinal chemistry. Great resource for researchers who are investigating organic synthesis, and/or searching for data on physical, chemical, spectral, bioactivity, or toxicological properties of chemical compounds.
Toxline
https://www.libraries.rutgers.edu/databases/toxline
Index of scholarship in all areas of toxicology, including chemicals and pharmaceuticals, pesticides, environmental pollutants, and mutagens and teratogens. Indexes recently published journal articles, providing a view of the most current scholarly literature. Subjects covered include:
