The UMass Amherst Libraries have obtained trial access to the Gmelin and Patent Chemistry databases, to complement our existing subscription to Beilstein. All three databases are available on the Crossfire platform via the Crossfire Commander Client.
Crossfire Gmelin is a searchable source of structures and properties in inorganic and organometallic chemistry, including 2 million reactions and 2.5 million compounds.
Patent Chemistry Database is a searchable index of chemical reactions, substances and substance related information from organic chemistry and life sciences publications (World, U.S. and European) since 1976, including 4 million reactions and 5 million compounds.
For information on connecting to these trial databases, please contact Paulina Borrego, Chemistry Liaison Librarian. The trial is available until August 20th, 2008.
