Use CAS SciFinder-n in identifying a chemical substance and its related chemical structures, molecular formula, chemical names, reaction components, regulatory information, and properties, including CAS Registry Numbers®, reaction schemes, step-by-step experimental procedures, detailed conditions, and product yields.
Access Note: Database use is restricted to current Mines-affiliates only and requires an individual user account to access. First-time users must register for an account using your @mines.edu email. - PubChem This link opens in a new window
- This link opens in a new window
PubChem mostly contains small molecules, but also larger molecules such as nucleotides, carbohydrates, lipids, peptides, and chemically-modified macromolecules. It collects information on chemical structures, identifiers, chemical and physical properties, biological activities, patents, health, safety, toxicity data, and many others. - ChemSpider This link opens in a new window
- This link opens in a new window
ChemSpider is a free chemical structure database providing fast text and structure search access to over 100 million structures from hundreds of data sources. - NIST Chemistry WebBook This link opens in a new window
This site provides thermochemical, thermophysical, and ion energetics data compiled by NIST under the Standard Reference Data Program.
- NIST Data Gateway
Data and spectra measured or collected by the National Institute of Science and Technology under different projects. See a full list of databases available at https://srdata.nist.gov/gateway/gateway?dblist=0 .
- Spectral Database for Organic Compounds This link opens in a new window
SDBS is an integrated spectral database system for organic compounds, which includes six different types of spectra under a directory of the compounds. The six spectra are as follows, an electron impact Mass spectrum (EI-MS), a Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FT-IR), a 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrum, a 13C NMR spectrum, a laser Raman spectrum, and an electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrum.
Specialized Data Sources
- HEPData This link opens in a new window
High energy particle reaction database/repository co-hosted by UK Science & Technology Facilities Council, CERN, and Ip3 of Durham University. Originally known as the Durham HepData Project.
- Physical Reference Data - NIST Physical Measurement Laboratory
Multiple database from NIST labs; containing constants, spectroscopic, and other physical property and specialized physics research data.
- Materials Project This link opens in a new window
The Materials Project was created to accelerate materials discovery through advanced scientific computing and innovative design tools. By computing properties of all known materials, the e-science site aims to remove guesswork from materials design in a variety of applications. - MatWeb: Material Property Data This link opens in a new window
MatWeb's searchable database of material properties includes data sheets of thermoplastic and thermoset polymers such as ABS, nylon, polycarbonate, polyester, polyethylene, and polypropylene; metals such as aluminum, cobalt, copper, lead, magnesium, nickel, steel, super alloys, titanium, and zinc alloys; ceramics; plus semiconductors, fibers, and other engineering materials.
