SciFinder for non-chemists

This post is also available in: Deutsch

SciFinder is the most thorough database of substances and is thus not only relevant to chemists! Besides organic and inorganic compounds you will find biomolecules, polymers, crystalline materials, non-structural materials and even elementary particles, like the Higgs Boson.

Each substance receives a unique identifier (CAS-number) by the Chemical Abstracts Service and new literature is screened for information to be linked to the respective compound entries in the database.

Find all the important information related to your substance in one place:

  • other names
  • chemical, physical and biological properties
  • reactions
  • commercial sources
  • all publications which mention the substance.

In order to use SciFinder, a one-time registration with your UZH e-mail address is necessary. For the registration, please use the following link.
