Chemistry

A guide to resources in UVic Libraries for the study of chemistry

SciFindern is the new interface of SciFinder, and it hosts many new features.

  • Retrosynthesis Planner: Generate a full retrosynthetic analysis of all known synthetic routes for a given Molecule; organize into easy to navigate synthetic plans; and access commercial availability and pricing.
  • PatentPak: Full-text searching of 18 million patents, with chemical substances marked so they can be easily found within the patent.
  • MethodsNow: Step by step procedures and protocols from journal articles and patents, found in the "Experimental Protocols" section for the reaction.
  • ChemDoodle: Touch-friendly structure editor for drawing on phones and tablets. Structures drawn in ChemDoodle will be the same in CAS Draw, and vice versa.
