Standard Sources
The following sources contain a variety of spectral data. These sources are not listed under each spectra type in this guide; you should make a habit of checking these first!
- SciFinderSearch the Chemical Abstracts. Requires registration using your @wisc email. Search by chemical name, identification #, chemical structure, or molecular formula. Make sure you are looking at Experimental Spectra, not the Predicted Sprectra.
- Spectral Database for Organic Compounds (SDBS)A database of IR, MS, Raman, and NMR spectra of organic compounds from the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology in Japan. Can search by compound OR by peak/shift values.
- SpringerMaterialsSpringerMaterials provides access to curated data on 3000+ physical and chemical properties of 250,000+ materials and chemical systems (mixtures, alloys, etc)
- NIST WebBookContains: IR spectra for over 16,000
Mass spectra for over 33,000 compounds
UV/Vis spectra for over 1600 compounds - Organic Chemistry Data Collection - SpectroscopyInfo on: NMR (1H, 13C, 19F 31P, 11B, 77Se), IR, UV, MS spectroscopy and links to spectra databases. Originally curated by Dr. Hans Reich, UW-Madison Emeritus Professor.
- SpectrabaseIncludes NMR, IR, Raman, UV-Vis, and Mass Spectra. Allows users 10 free searches per month.
