Chemical Abstract Service (CAS), a division of the American Chemical Society, has announced that scientists worldwide can now access more than 23.8 million predicted proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectra in SciFinder. SciFinder is the leading research and discovery tool and the authoritative source of information on more than 41 million chemical substances.
NMR spectroscopy is a widely used technique in determining the structure of organic compounds. Researchers use proton NMR (also called 1H-NMR) as an important analytical tool in characterising molecules across a variety of chemical research fields. These proton NMR spectra augment the 1.9 billion predicted and experimental properties and data tags already available in SciFinder.
CAS is making the proton NMR spectra available through an agreement with ACD/Labs, an organisation that has supplied other property information to CAS.
