Beilstein CrossFire gives researchers the ability to combine complex structural queries with
textual queries, quickly delivering them citations to the information that they need. The structure
module allows a researcher to perform both exact structure searches and substructure
searches, searches in which a certain part of the molecule must remain fixed but other sites
are allowed to have different substituents. Beilstein CrossFire should only be used for
queries about organic molecules. It is available on campus 24 hours a day.
If you are a current Penn affiliate, you should use Beilstein to answer the following
types of questions.
- You want to find physical property data on a particular organic compound.
I need to find the melting point of bromobenzene.
- You want to find spectral peaks for organic compounds.
I need to find the IR spectrum of ibuprophen.
I am looking for the 13C NMR spectrum of C4H8NO3,
using D2O as a solvent.
- You want to search by common or chemical name and find the structure of a compound.
What is the chemical structure of caffeine?
- You are looking for a compound that has the particular characteristics you
specify.
I would like to identify a black crystal that melts between
180 and 181 degrees Celsius.
- You want to find preparations for a compound, searching by structure.
- You want to find papers that contain information about the chemical behavior of a molecule.
- You want to find compounds that have structural similarities to a compound
that you draw.
