Beilstein Crossfire is a powerful interface which searches 2 different databases: Beilstein, containing information on over 8 mil. organic compounds and Gmelin, containing information on over 1 mil. inorganic and organometalic compounds. These databases are excellent sources of property information and reaction information. The databases canbe searched by name, stucture/substructure, reaction information or property and much more. Additional information about the database can be found at the vendor's site.
Access is restricted to current UW students, faculty and staff.
