  • NIST Atomic Spectra Database.  
    This database provides access and search capability for NIST critically evaluated data on atomic energy levels, wavelengths, and transition probabilities that are reasonably up-to-date.
  • CS Chemfinder  
      
    You must register for free access to this site from Cambridge Software which allows you to search by formula, name, molecular weight, or structure for information on more than 75,000 compounds.
  • SDBS  
      
    Integrated spectral data base system for organic compounds sponsored by the National Institute of Materials and Chemical Research in Japan (NMR and MS). Searchable by compound name, molecular formula, molecular weight, CAS Registry Number, number of atoms, and ppm.
  • SOLV-DB  
      
    This site from the National Center for Manufacturing Services provides property data on solvents.
  • NIST Chemistry WebBook  
      
    The NIST Chemistry WebBook contains thermochemical and thermophysical data, several types of spectral data, and solubility data. Information is continually being added. Searches can be done by the specific chemical or by the type of data desired.
  • Periodic Table of the Elements  
      
    Make use of the basic periodical table or click on individual elements for extensive information including properties, appearance, occurrence, history, and uses.
