This is a spectral database for organic compounds. It includes the following spectra: electron impact Mass spectrum (EI-MS), a Fourier transform infrared spectrum ((FT-IR), a 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrum, a 13C NMR spectrum, a laser Raman spectrum, and an electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrum.

Combined web access to Beilstein, Gmelin, and Patent Chemistry Database. Search by chemical structures or reactions to retrieve physical/chemical properties, spectra, related reactions, description of reactions as well as references to the literature in which the data appear. It also includes the synthesis planner tool.
