CRC Press, US, part of the Taylor & Francis Group, has announced that it is teaming up with ChemAxon, a software solutions provider for cheminformatics, to bring a new search function to CRC’s Combined Chemical Dictionary Online (CCD).
Under the deal, users can search content using the MarvinSketch Java applet and JChem search engine from ChemAxon. The applet, which is compatible with Mac, PC, and Linux-based systems, allows users to draw their own search criteria.
CCD is a chemical database containing entries on more than 500,000 substances. It houses descriptive and numerical data on chemical, physical and biological properties of compounds; systematic and common names of compounds; literature references; and structure diagrams and their associated connection tables. It is composed of eight online dictionaries, which are also available for individual purchase. While several of the dictionaries have already gone live on the website, the others are scheduled to follow in the next few months.
