Gmelin database
Encyclopedia
The Gmelin database is a large database
of organometallic
and inorganic
compounds updated quarterly. It is based on the German publication the Gmelins Handbuch der anorganischen Chemie ("Gmelin's handbook on inorganic chemistry") written by Leopold Gmelin
in 1887, and currently contains 1.5 million compounds and 1.3 million different reactions. The latest version contains every compound/reaction discovered between 1772 and 1995, with over 85,000 titles, keywords and abstracts, and is maintained by Elsevier MDL.
The database has over 800 different data fields on subjects such as the compounds electric, magnetic, thermal, crystal and physiological information.
It is the sister database to the Beilstein database
, which deals with organic chemicals and reactions.
Access is part of the Reaxys
system.

Organometallic chemistry
Organometallic chemistry is the study of chemical compounds containing bonds between carbon and a metal. Since many compounds without such bonds are chemically similar, an alternative may be compounds containing metal-element bonds of a largely covalent character...

Inorganic chemistry
Inorganic chemistry is the branch of chemistry concerned with the properties and behavior of inorganic compounds. This field covers all chemical compounds except the myriad organic compounds , which are the subjects of organic chemistry...

Leopold Gmelin
Leopold Gmelin was a German chemist.Gmelin was the son of Johann Friedrich Gmelin. He studied medicine and chemistry at Göttingen, Tübingen and Vienna, and in 1813 began to lecture on chemistry at Heidelberg, where in 1814 he was appointed extraordinary-, and in 1817 ordinary-, professor of...

Beilstein database
The Beilstein database is the largest database in the field of organic chemistry, in which compounds are uniquely identified by their Beilstein Registry Number. The database covers the scientific literature from 1771 to the present and contains experimentally validated information on millions of...
