The Research Medical Library provides access to the CrossFire Beilstein chemical database.

Now featuring over 10 Million Reactions

The CrossFire Beilstein database is the world's largest compilation of chemical facts. As the cornerstone database to organic chemistry, the CrossFire Beilstein database is essential for generating new leads, planning synthetic routes (including starting materials and intermediates), determining bioactivity and physical properties and ascertaining the environmental fates of compounds.

CrossFire Beilstein indexes three primary data domains: substances, reactions and literature. The substance domain stores structural information with all associated facts and literature references, including chemical, physical and bioactivity data. The reaction domain details the preparation of substances, enabling scientists to investigate specific reaction pathways with reaction search queries. The literature domain includes citations, titles and abstracts, which are hyperlinked to the substance and reaction domain entries.

CrossFire Beilstein provides information on a compound or reaction collated from different publications into a single record. In these records, the more than 320 million experimental data (facts) do not only provide an overview of the properties of a compound or different conditions for a reaction, they can also be exported to review, compare or share data and tables with colleagues.
