A chemical database is a database specially designed for recording chemical information. This information includes the molecular structure, crystal structure, spectroscopy information, related reactions and synthesis methods, and chemical thermodynamic property data of the substance. Most chemical database store information on stable molecules. Today, let’s take stock of the chemical databases that the chemical industry players can refer to.
1.PubChem is an open chemistry database from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Since its establishment in 2004, the database has provided data to millions of users around the world every month, covering the fields of small molecule substances as well as nucleotides, carbohydrates, lipids, peptides, and chemically modified macromolecules.
PubChem mainly includes three major databases: Substance, Compound and BioAssay. Substance includes chemical structures, synonyms, registration IDs, descriptions, related links, patent identifiers and other information to store raw compound data uploaded by institutions and individuals; Compound is a standardized integration of the same chemical substance information in the Substance database. After searching in the Compound database, you can view the classified and summarized Substance information.
2.Web of Science is an important database for obtaining global academic information. It contains more than 13,000 authoritative and high-impact academic journals from around the world, covering natural sciences, engineering technology, biomedicine, social sciences, arts and humanities and other fields.
Content in the Web of Science Core Collection is carefully selected for unique selectivity and indexed for its consistency. An independent, comprehensive editorial process has been established to ensure the journal’s excellence and an unparalleled data structure based on more than 50 years of consistent, accurate and complete indexing.
Every article and all cited documents in every journal are indexed, creating the most comprehensive and complete citation network available, allowing users to achieve confident discovery and trustworthy assessment. Only Web of Science Core Collection fully indexes all content, providing a complete and conclusive view of 115 years of the highest quality research.
3.MOLBASE has the world’s largest and most accurate free compound database, providing search methods such as chemical names, CAS numbers, and structural formulas. The chemical dictionary comprehensively covers MSDS data, synthesis routes, chemical production methods and uses, nuclear magnetic spectra, physical and chemical properties, Chemical safety information, upstream and downstream products, chemical HS customs data information; find chemical suppliers and manufacturers by searching chemical names, CAS numbers and structural formulas.
4. Reaxys database integrates the Crossfire Beilstein database and the Crossfire Gmelin database into the same system, and adds a new patent chemical database, Patent Chemistry Database. It is also equipped with a powerful search engine to screen and integrate data in original literature to provide chemical structures, Chemical reactions, corresponding chemical and physical properties, and detailed pharmacological information. The newly added patent chemistry databases in Reaxys include those from the World Intellectual Property Organization (1978 to the present), the European Patent Office (1978 to the present), and the United States Patent Office (1976 to the present). English patent information, covering international patent categories such as organic chemistry, pharmaceuticals, biocides and dyes.
5.ChemicalBook is a resource platform dedicated to providing the most valuable information to users in the chemical industry. Here, you can use Chinese name, CAS number, English name, molecular formula, molecular weight, MDL number, EINECS number, structural formula and other methods to search required chemical information resources and global supplier information for daily work.
6.MolAid is a compound retrieval and intelligent integrated digital synthesis platform carefully developed by tanqingsk for chemists. It collects hundreds of millions of chemical data around the world and provides accurate data information, including physical and chemical properties, toxicity, Reactions, literature, crystals, spectra, safety and other information data. There are seven databases: compound database, reaction information database, physical and chemical properties database, spectrum database, crystal information database, safety information database and information database.
7.ECHEMI.COM is a professional digital cross-border chemical B2B platform, serving 110,000 buyers and 22,000 suppliers across the world. ECHEMI Chemical Encyclopedia is a free chemical database providing huge amounts of data related to chemical compounds and SDS. People can find out what they need through enter chemical name, CAS No. or formula. And find Import infomation such as Chemical usage,Up-to-date SDS, Material & Downstream, Products, China Export Data, Supplier Information.
All in all, Chemical database is a tool for storing and managing information about chemical substances. It plays an important role in chemical research, drug development, materials science, and environmental protection. It is hoped that the above database can provide effective help to chemical industry participants.
