Department of Energy
Environmental Protection Agency
National Center for Toxicological Research
NCTR conducts scientific research to develop and support innovative tools and evaluation of approaches that FDA uses to protect and promote individual and public health (from the publisher's website).
National Science Foundation Chemistry Home
Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI)
OSTI.GOV is the primary search tool for the Department of Energy (DOE) science, technology, and engineering research and development results and the organizational hub for information about the DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information. It consolidates OSTI’s home page and our now retired primary search tool SciTech Connect.

OSTI.GOV makes discoverable over 70 years of research results from DOE and its predecessor agencies. Research results include journal articles/accepted manuscripts and related metadata; technical reports; scientific research datasets and collections; scientific software; patents; conference and workshop papers; books and theses; and multimedia. OSTI.GOV contains over 3 million records, including citations to 1.5 million journal articles, 1 million of which have digital object identifiers (DOIs) linking to full-text articles on publishers' websites. OSTI.GOV provides access to this DOE STI by offering numerous easy-to-use search capabilities and customization options; and for the DOE community, additional citation information is available to help researchers evaluate article impact and find related research.

ChemSpider
ChemSpider is a free chemical structure database providing fast text and structure search access to over 32 million structures from hundreds of data sources (from the publisher's website).
Common Chemistry
From Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), a web resource that contains CAS Registry Numbers for approximately 7,900 chemicals of widespread general public interest (from the publisher's website).
Kaye and Laby Online
The information contained in Kaye and Laby is no longer being updated. Please note that this is a historical version of the document. For example, it does not contain the new SI Base Unit definitions from May 2019, or the fundamental constant values also redefined around that time. An archived version can be found here, which includes the entire, unedited contents of the 16th edition (published 1995) and is full of tables of data, formulae, graphs and charts.
MatWeb
Searchable database of material properties (from the publisher's website).
PubChem
PubChem provides information on the biological activities of small molecules. It's organized as three linked databases within the NCBI's Entrez information retrieval system. These are PubChem Substance, PubChem Compound, and PubChem BioAssay. PubChem also provides a fast chemical structure similarity search tool (from the publisher's website).
SDBS: Spectral Database for Organic Compounds
SDBS is an integrated spectral database system for organic compounds,which includes 6 different types of spectra under a directory of the compounds (from the publisher's website).
