SciFinder

A database of chemical and related science information from Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS). Search substances and reactions, or journal and patent citations

SciFinder-n is recommended by Chalmers Library because it is a major database in chemistry, with a graphics interface. Since the information in SciFinder is integrated, you can start your exploration with a search for references, substances, or reactions, and then easily retrieve related information from any of the other areas.

In order to use SciFinder, you need to be a registered user. You have to use a Chalmers email address at the registration.
