Total Experimental Property Values = 3.4 M

SciFinder is a valuable resource for locating properties and spectra

• Properties and spectra are found in CAS REGISTRY

• Billions of experimental and predicted property values

• Data tags cover hundreds of additional material, biological, and physical properties and leads a researcher to the primary literature

• Experimental spectra include IR, mass spec, NMR, and Raman

• Predicted 1H-NMR spectra cover nearly all small organic molecules registered by CAS

Total Predicted Properties = 2.3 B

Total Experimental Spectra = 713 K

Total PredictedSpectra = 23.8 M

Total Experimental Data Tags = 7.8 M
