The ACS website also includes other useful features and links for professionals, educators, students, policy makers, and general chemistry enthusiasts.
Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre Includes the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD), a " world depository of small molecule crystal structures...[that] records bibliographic, chemical, and crystallographic information for: organic molecules, metal-organic compounds." The database is produced and maintained by the CCDC, located on the Chemistry Campus of the University of Cambridge.
Chemguide An online study guide from the UK for A-level examinations in chemistry (equivalent to college-level general chemistry). Information on atmomic structure and bonding, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, instrumental analysis, basic organic chemistry, properties of organic compounds, and organic reaction mechanisms. Includes sample test questions to quiz yourself.
ChemWeb "The ChemWeb Chemistry Portal provides access to the information chemists need to enhance their research, product development, self-development, education, and/or their businesses in Chemistry and related disciplines. Easy access to abstracts, papers, books, conferences, news, forums and the Alchemist Newsletter." Membership is free.
Electrochemistry Dictionary "Simple and brief definitions of words and phrases often used in electrochemistry. In some cases, a second paragraph provides further information for the 'more scientifically minded.'"
eMolecules "eMolecules is the world's most comprehensive openly accessible search engine for chemical structures...[and includes] more than 6 million chemical structures, chemical data from more than 140 suppliers, the ability to search by drawing chemical structures or substructures using common industry tools, more than 3 million commercially available screening compounds and hundreds of thousands of building blocks and intermediates, reference links to many prominent sources for public data for spectra, physical properties and biological data..."
