Chemistry

The Web Book provides chemical and physical properties data for atoms, molecules, ions, and other chemical species. Searching is available by direct search for a particular substance, or indirectly through related properties data. From their Welcome page, the Web Book provides “Thermochemical data for over 7000 organic and small inorganic compounds…reaction thermochemistry data for over 8000 reactions…free energy of reaction, IR spectra for over 16,000 compounds, mass spectra for over 33,000 compounds, UV/Vis spectra for over 1600 compounds, and gas chromatography data for over 27,000 compounds.”

Maintained by the Pesticide Action Network of North America, searchable by chemicals, products, poisoning diagnostic information, and chemicals responsible for aquatic ecotoxicity.

Safety Data Sheets for Sigma Aldrich products. Allows searching by product number or structure, also includes a web toolbox and "Ask a Chemist" feature.

Compiled by the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), in Japan. Spectra can be found by direct search for compound name, molecular formula or weight, or CAS registry number. IR, NMR, MS, Raman, and ESR spectra are available. Users may also input spectral data to determine an unknown substance. Users are requested not to download more than 50 spectra or individual compound information in a single day.

Free online resources from the UK National Physical Laboratory. Features thermodynamic, electrical, mechanical, acoustical, and other types of data, including charts, tables, formulas, and graphs. ** This resource is no longer being updated, this link leads to an archived version **

Compiled by the University of Texas at Austin Library, contains links to books and handbooks in their collection. A great finding aid for thermodynamic and physical properties data, mostly in print. This is a good starting place for properties data resources, but not all items are available at UTSA.

Interactive questioning modules that present learners with carefully crafted questions that target various aspects of a concept. Concepts covered include fundamentals (significant digits and differences between chemical and physical properties) as well as more advanced topics like stoichiometry and the Bronsted-Lowry model.

ACS strives to advance the broader chemistry enterprise and its practitioners for the benefit of Earth and its people. It is the largest scientific society by membership with over 158,000 members.

The Society was established in 1957 with the express purpose of organizing U.S. conferences on carbon. Today, it promotes interdisciplinary research on the fundamentals and applications of carbon materials and more importantly organizes the triennial International Conference on Carbon.

The American Crystallographic Association, Inc. is a non-profit, scientific organization of over 1,300 members in more than 35 countries. The objective of the ACA is to promote interactions among scientists who study the structure of matter at atomic (or near atomic) resolution.

From its earliest days in 1923 to the present, the American Institute of Chemists has fostered the advancement of the chemical profession in the United States. The Institute has a corresponding dedication "to promote and protect the public welfare; to establish and maintain standards of practice for these professions; and to promote the professional experience through certification as to encourage competent and efficient service."

The ASBMB is a nonprofit scientific and educational organization with over 12,000 members. The Society's mission is to advance the science of biochemistry and molecular biology through publication of scientific and educational journals, organization of scientific meetings, advocacy for funding of basic research and education, support of science education at all levels, and promoting the diversity of individuals entering the scientific workforce.

COACh is a grass-roots organization that is working to increase the number and career success of women scientists and engineers through innovative programs and strategies. Membership is free and open to anyone who shares its passion for building capacity in STEM fields around the world.

The NOBCChE is dedicated to building an eminent cadre of people of color in science and technology In pursuit of this mission NOBCChE initiates and supports local, regional, national, and global programs that assist people of color in fully realizing their potential in academic, professional, and entrepreneurial pursuits in chemistry, chemical engineering, and related fields.

The NSF is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 "to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense…" With an annual budget of $7.5 billion (FY 2016), the NSF is the funding source for approximately 24 percent of all federally supported basic research conducted by America's colleges and universities.
