What Is It
ChemINDEX is a class of chemical reference
databases composed of the BuckyBase,
ChemINDEX Net, and NCI databases. Its
databases are found in the ChemINDEX CD-
ROM.
How Is It Useful
• Name
• Vapor Pressure
• Synonym
• CAS Registry Number
• Boiling Point
• Melting Point
• Site ID
This class of databases serves as an extensive
chemical reference for finding general information
about commonly used compounds, such as
structure, name, molecular weight, CAS Registry
Number, synonyms, and physical data (melting
point, boiling point, vapor pressure, etc.).
ChemINDEX Net contains active hyperlinks to
WWW sites with further information about the
compounds.

Key Fields:
• Structure
• Formula
• ACX Number
• SC Number
• Molecular Weight
• Supplier
• Catalog
Each data field on this form is labeled. Melting
points and boiling points are presented as three
fields:
• If only a single value is available, it is placed in
the first field.
• If a range is available, the low and high limits of
the range are placed in the first two fields.
• The third field is for a note, such as (dec) for
decomposes.
Synonyms and hyperlinks are displayed in the
subforms on the right side of the form. You must
have an internet connection to use the hyperlink
features. If you are connected to the internet, the
