The Merck Index Online now available

UCL now has access to The Merck Index Online, the electronic version of the authoritative source of information on chemicals, drugs and biologicals.

The Merck Index Online is an easily-searchable, full-text database containing substance monographs, over 500 organic named reactions and reference tables. All the content from the print edition of The Merck Index is included, plus historic monographs only available online. The Merck Index Online will be updated regularly.

A quick search option allows you to search the database by name, CAS registry number, molecular formula or molecular weight or you can use the main search page to construct a multi-field search across a large variety of data types including various compound properties. Alternatively, you can search by chemical structure using the structure search.

If you have any questions about using the database, please contact your subject librarian.
