Reaxys
The Reaxys Service includes access to both Beilstein
and Gmelin Databases.
Core subjects covered by the Service are organic chemistry, inorganic
and organometallic chemistry, but they also cover: biology, biochemistry,
pharmacy, pharmacology, medicinal chemistry, toxicology, physiology,
ecology, environmental science, geology, mineralogy, metallurgy and
materials science.
Beilstein Database
Based on Beilstein's Handbuch der organischen Chemie, the Beilstein Database covers organic chemistry from 1771 to date. It contains over 10 million structures, 10 million reactions, 2 million citations, 320 million property records and 50 million hyperlinks.
Gmelin Database
This covers inorganic and organometallic compounds from 1772 to date. Again based on a German publication, the Gmelin Handbuch der anorganischen Chemie, the database currently comprises over 2.7 million compounds, including glasses, alloys, ceramics, minerals and coordination compounds, 1.4 million citations and over 2 million reactions.
Reaxys Service
Reaxys is the successor to Crossfire and is a web-based search and retrieval system for chemical compounds, bibliographic data and chemical reactions.
