Publisher's Synopsis
Electronic Edition. New revised edition contains: More than 4,000 new chemicals More than 20,000 new synonyms More than 25,000 chemicals More than 150,000 synonyms. Instantly locate chemicals by: (1) Full-text search (2) Browseable Keyword indexes by: names or synonyms CAS registry numbers SMILES notation. Many scientists and engineers who work with chemicals spend an inordinate amount of time using a common name to identify a more appropriate chemical name, the Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) Registry Number, and/or the chemical structure. Often an individual will start out with a trade name that provides no insight into the chemical identity, thereby taking many hours to identify what the chemical actually is. The goal of this CD is to make these lookup tasks cost nothing (other than the cost of this CD-ROM) and take a reasonable amount of time for 95 per cent of the chemicals that most individuals will need to investigate.
