Formula Search

The formula search is used for obtaining an ion or an ionic liquid or a component by its ionic formula or molecular formula. The search is case-insensitive and the elements of the formula may be specified in any order and either in upper case or lower case. Partial formulas are allowed in the criteria. Examples: “C5H9BrN2”, “H15c8”, or “c9h16n4”.

Name Search

Select to jump to the top of the pageReturn to Top
The name search is used for finding either a molecular compound or an ionic compound or an ion by its chemical synonyms. It permits a case-insensitive search with a full name or partial name in the criteria. Examples of “bromide” or “BROMIDE” or “BroMide” in the criteria will all result in the same group of compounds, such as “pyridinium, 1-butyl-, bromide”, “1-ethylpyridinium bromide”, “1H-imidazolium, 1,1'-(1,3-propanediyl) bis*3-ethyl-, dibromide” and so forth.

Molecular Weight Search

Select to jump to the top of the pageReturn to Top
This search of compounds is carried out based on molecular weight. There are three ways users may specify their values: (1) enter a specified value such as 216.12; (2) use greater than “>” or less then “<” signs such as “>400”; or (3) specify a range by keywords such as “between 200 and 205”.

Ionic Charge Search

Select to jump to the top of the pageReturn to Top
The ionic charge search is designed for users to identify the cations or anions of interest. An ion is a charged chemical unit: a positive ion is called a cation and a negatively charged ion is called an anion. In order to obtain all cations enter “>0”, and all anions enter “<0”, or to obtain a specified ionic charge such as “-2”, enter “-2”.

Author Search

Select to jump to the top of the pageReturn to Top
The author search permits searches of data sources by using author names, usually in the format of their publication. All authors in a publication may be used in the criteria for name search. The search is performed in case-insensitive mode by entering a full name or partial name.

Time Search

Select to jump to the top of the pageReturn to Top
The time search is used in retrieving references based on the year of publication. The criteria may be prepared in a number of ways, for example, (1) a specified value, such as "2005"; (2) greater than “>” or less then “<”, such as ">2000"; (3) a range value, such as “between 2002 and 2003”; (4) selected individual years, such as “in (2003, 2005)”.

Sources Search

Select to jump to the top of the pageReturn to Top
The source search may be conducted for retrieving references by the names of journals and reports. Users may copy and paste a journal name from a list of available journal names and their abbreviations provided in the Hints section of the search page.
