Chemistry Portal

Search current and retrospective information from approximately 5,600 of the most prestigious, high impact research science journals in the world. Known for its citation searching capability.

An online catalog which allows you to search across thousands of library catalogs including the collections of the libraries in the Boston Library Consortium (BLC), a group of academic and research libraries. You can visit the Consortium libraries and borrow the materials directly by obtaining a Consortium card at the O'Neill Circulation Desk.

Essential resource for finding data and associated literature references for organic and inorganic/organometallic compounds. Search by structure, molecular formula and text-based facts. Learn more about Reaxys content.

The Cambridge Structural Database is the world's primary repository for small molecule crystal structures, providing access to bibliographic, chemical and crystallographic data for organic, organometallic and metallic compounds. 3D structures have been determined using X-ray and neutron diffraction. The database records results of single crystal and powder diffractions studies. The web version (WebCSD) provides access to data; interactive functionality requires installation of the desktop client. For more information contact Nancy Curtis (nancy.curtis.2@bc.edu), Chemistry and Physics Librarian/Boston College Libraries.

Authoritative coverage of important synthetic reactions, published annually since 1942. Each reaction is fully referenced to the primary literature.
