Reference Books

• Dictionary of Organic Compounds. Multi-volume work. Arranged alphabetically by compound name. Gives alternate names, structure, some physical properties, some derivative information and literature references to syntheses, spectra, safety information. Has name and formula indexes. (Chem. Ref. 547.03 D554 6th ed.)
• Handbook of Data on Organic Compounds. Multi-volume work consisting of a major expansion of the organic tables in CRC Handbook. Arranged by parent compound. Good source for density and refractive indexes. Has name and formula indexes. (Chem. Ref. 547 H236 1994 Shelved on table outside library office)
• Aldrich Catalog Handbook of Fine Chemicals. Catalog of chemicals sold by the Aldrich Chemical Company. Arranged alphabetically by compound name. Gives physical properties and references to spectra and safety information. (Copies on table outside library office)
• CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics. Contains table on properties of organic compounds. Listing is by parent followed by substituted compounds. For example, to find methyl benzoate, look up Benzoic acid, methyl ester. (Copies on table outside library office)

CDROM Databases

• Properties of Organic Compounds. CD version of Handbook of Data on Organic Compounds. Both name and structure searchable. Gives spectra numbers for Sadtler and other spectra sets. (Single user version on CD workstation)

Melting and Boiling Points of Derivatives

• Handbook of tables for organic compounds identification. A book of tables, arranged by parent functional group, i.e. acids, aldehydes, ketones, etc. Use the index to find compound number and page of the unknown (parent). Each table gives melting point, boiling point, refractive idex and density of the parent, followed a columnar arrangement of data for the most important derivatives. (Chem. Ref. 547.083 F829R 3d ed.)
• Dictionary of organic compounds. Physical property information for derivatives given in entry for parent compound. (Chem. Ref. 547.03 D554 6th ed.)

Spectra

Infrared Spectra

• Sadtler Standard Infrared Grating Spectra. Locate compounds using the Alphabetic or Molecular formula index. Compounds may be found in the main or supplementary indexes. Name index is arranged by parent compound. (Along the side wall of the library)
