Physical and Chemical Properties : Home

Almost every data search on a chemical property should begin in the CRC. (Online or print)
Steenbock Ref: QD65 H32
AMP Ref: QD65 H32

Another major reference work for chemists. (Print only)
Chem Ref: QD65 L362 2005
Steenbock: QD65 L362 1999

Regularly updated encyclopedia with entries on chemicals, technology, and industrial processes. (Online)

Requires registration using your @wisc email. Search by chemical name, identification #, chemical structure, or molecular formula. Make sure you are looking at Experimental Properties, not the Predicted Properties (usually have to scroll past the Predicted Properties).

Requires users to create an account before using. Includes data from the Beilstein/Gmelin databases as well as patent information. Search by chemical name, identification #, chemical structure, or molecular formula. Good place to find data for organic compounds.

SpringerMaterials provides access to curated data on 3000+ physical and chemical properties of 250,000+ materials and chemical systems (mixtures, alloys, etc)

Online encyclopedia containing articles and information on more than 5,100 chemical reagents and catalysts.

Provides thermodynamic properties and various spectra for a large array of compounds. Compiled by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

List of free databases from NIST - includes physical constants, thermodynamic properties and the JANAF Tables, atomic spectra, phase diagrams, and more

Originally curated by UW-Madison professor Hans Reich. Topics include structural information, organic reactions, nomenclature, physical properties, and spectroscopic data.

This journal provides critically evaluated physical and chemical property data, fully documented as to the original sources and the criteria used for evaluation, preferably with uncertainty analysis.
UW-Madison does not have subscription access to this journal, so full text can be obtained in the following ways:
-Request via Interlibrary Loan (ILL); we will scan our print copies or get scans from another library
-1972-2012 volumes: Some are freely available online - may not contain every article from each volume
-Monographs and Supplements from the JPCRD

The Design Institute for Physical Property (DIPPR) Data Project published critically evaluated data on mostly pure organic compounds. UW-Madison owns 14 of their publications in print.
