Gmelin via the Commander Interface. MDL Information Systems, Inc.

Online version of the Gmelin handbook is available via the Commander interface (same interface for Beilstein). Over 1.4 million compounds are covered, including polymers, ceramics, glasses, minerals and alloys. Data is reported from 1772-present. Data in the following categories may be reported: characterization, including material composition and structural data, chemical properties, including preparation and reaction details, condensed phase data, electric, magnetic, mechanical, molecular, and optical properties, electrochemistry, phase transition data, quantum chemical calculations, spectroscopy, systemic properties, such as solubility and vapor pressure in solution, thermodynamics, transport phenomena, thermal properties. Access is provided from workstations in the Chemistry Library and the Crerar Library. Manuals for the use of this database are available in the Chemistry Library. The client software may be downloaded by authorized University of Chicago users for use in labs and offices on campus. Search assistance and advice are also available from the Chemistry Librarian.

Gmelin Handbuch der anorganischen Chemie. 8th edition. Multi-volume set with supplements Springer-Verlag: Berlin, 1924-1996.

This comprehensive compilation provides critically evaluated data for elements, inorganic and organometallic compounds in the context of scholarly monographs. The set is organized by element. More than one hundred years of data is included. Much of the set is published in German, with more recent volumes appearing in English. There is a formula index available. An online version is also available and may be used as a source of references to the print handbook, which contains much more detail than the online file. See Gmelin via the Commander Interface for more information.
