Finding Information on Chemical Compounds Anne Turhollow & Marilyn Hall Library & Information Access Spring 2007

Class Web Page infodome.sdsu.edu Research Research Guides  Researching a topic by class assignment Chemistry 231  Please bookmark this page

Contents of Lecture What are chemists looking for? Where to look? Chemical Names Web of Science SciFinder Scholar Other resources

Assignment Summary Web of Science SciFinder Scholar Factual source from class web page

Robert Tomaszewski, Georgia State University Libraries

Information Searches What you use depends on the type of information you need Factual information  Physical data, Spectra Research Literature  Synthetic pathways, function and structure, pharmacokinetics

Information Sources Factual information  Handbooks, encyclopedias Research Literature  Periodical indexes and databases Can be print or electronic Access method based on organization’s resources

Why not Google? Easy to use But what about the junk?  Google Scholar Google Scholar Hard to specify Try looking for a chemical compound

How do we identify a chemical? Brand name  Aero,Hicophor PR, Pluragard Trivial name  Melamine Structural name  1, 3, 5-Triazine-2, 4, 6-triamine  2, 4, 6-triamino-s-triazine

How do we identify a chemical? Formula – C 3 H 6 N 6 CAS RN – Structural drawing

Research Literature Article Databases, Periodical Indexes, Index and Abstracting Services Web of Science SciFinder Scholar

Web of Science Multidisciplinary database indexing over 7000 journals Heavy emphasis on science Includes 800 chemistry journals Goes back to 1900

Web of Science Can search by author, keyword, or cited reference Very tricky to search by chemical name (no control of names) Formula searches are also very difficult

Using Web of Science

Chemical Abstracts (CA) Indexes 9,000 journals plus patents, theses, technical reports, conference papers, books International and multidisciplinary in coverage Can search by author, topic, chemical formula or name, structure Goes back to 1907 Part of an online system called “SciFinder Scholar”

SciFinder Scholar 6 inter-linked databases CAplus – Chemical Abstracts; includes some pre-1907 material Medline – references to the medical journal literature from 1950s to present

SciFinder Scholar CAS Registry – basic information on ~27 million compounds CASREACT – information on over 8 million single and multi-step reactions CHEMLIST – regulated chemicals CHEMCATS – catalog of commercially available compounds and their suppliers

SciFinder Scholar Requires additional software Can only be searched on campus Limit of two users

Using SciFinder Scholar

What Else is There? Many free and fee based sources Class web page  s/chem231.shtml#data s/chem231.shtml#data

Factual/Name Sources Merck Index  RS51.M Ref Desk Dictionary of Organic Compounds  QD246.D Ref ChemIDPlus  idlite.jsp idlite.jsp
