Databases of Physical Constants
- Databases available through the WSU library Includes on-line archive of all ACS journals!
- CHEMnetBASE. Try the Properties of Organic Compounds database.
- http://www.emolecules.com/ Allows one to search for information by drawing the structure of the compound.
- ChemIDPlus. Detailed toxicity data for 139,000 common compounds.
- When all else fails try googling it! www.google.com
- GoogleScholar is a great way to access the primary literature.
Spectroscopy Databases
- Database of
Mass, IR, ESR, and NMR Spectra: NIMCR's ISDBS for Organic
Compounds
- Sigma-Aldrich is another place to look for NMR and IR spectra: www.SigmaAldrich.com
- After you search the compound click for information on the specific product, then select the "Safety & Documentation". If NMR data is available there will be a link labeled "FT-NMR" in the Documents list.
- C-13 Chemical Shifts: http://www.chem.wisc.edu/areas/reich/Handouts/nmr-c13/cdata.htm
- H-1 Chemical Shifts: http://www.chem.wisc.edu/areas/reich/handouts/nmr-h/hdata.htm
- Five-Ash database of IR spectra. (Use the WSU Library Databases link to access this database.)
- Database of IR and Mass Spectra. NIST Chemistry WebBook
- NMR Spectrum

- C-13 NMR

**Beware putting too much credence in the NMR predictors. These only predict spectral data based on a relatively small set of known compounds' spectra. The results obtained cannot by any stretch be used as "true", "literature", or "theoretical" values. However, sometimes they can be used as a "guesstimate" of where your peaks should be.
