SOURCES OF PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL DATA
In addition to the primary research journals, there are many useful sources of property data of the type contained in the CRC Handbook

C. Major Multi-Volume Handbook Series
1. Chapman & Hall/CRC Chemical Dictionaries — These

Organic Compounds, Dictionary of Natural Products, etc.
They are now published in electronic form and are avail-
able in CDROM format [www.crcpress.com] and on the
Internet [www.chemnetbase.com]. The consolidated ver-
sion, called the Combined Chemical Dictionary, has data
on more than 450,000 compounds spanning all branches
of chemistry. The coverage includes physical properties,
biological sources, hazard information, uses, and litera-
ture references.
2. Properties of Organic Compounds — Originally pub-
lished in three editions as the Handbook of Data on Organic
Compounds, it is now in electronic form as Properties of
Organic Compounds. The database includes about 30,000
compounds; physical properties and spectral data (mass,
infrared, Raman, ultraviolet, and NMR) are covered. It is
offered as CDROM [www.crcpress.com] and by Web ac-
cess [www.chemnetbase.com].
3. Beilstein Handbook of Organic Chemistry — The classic
source of data on organic compounds, dating from the 19th
century, Beilstein was converted to electronic form in the
last decade of the 20th century. Over 8 million compounds
and 10 million chemical reactions are now covered, with
a broad range of physical properties as well as synthetic
methods and ecological data. The database is accessed by
the CrossFire software [www.mdli.com].
4. Gmelin Handbook of Inorganic and Organometallic
Chemistry — A subset of the information in the print
series has been converted to electronic form and is now
distributed in the same manner as Beilstein. In addition
to the standard physical properties, the coverage includes
a wide range of optical, magnetic, spectroscopic, thermal,
and transport properties for about 1.4 million compounds
[www.mdli.com].
5. DECHEMA Chemical Data Series — DECHEMA dis-
tributes the DETHERM database, which emphasizes data
used in process design in the chemical industry, including
thermodynamic and transport properties of about 20,000
pure compounds and 90,000 mixtures. Access is available
through in-house databases and via the Internet [www.
dechema.de].
6. Landolt-Börnstein Numerical Data and Functional
Relationships in Science and Technology — Landolt-
Börnstein covers a very broad range of data in physics,
chemistry, crystallography, materials science, biophysics,
astronomy, and geophysics. Hard-copy volumes in the
New Series (started in 1961) are still being published, and
the entire New Series is now accessible on the Internet
[www.landolt-boernstein.com].
D. Selected Single-Volume Handbooks
The following handbooks offer broad coverage of high-quality
data in a single volume. This list is only representative; an exten-
sive listing of handbooks in all fields of science may be found in
Handbooks and Tables in Science and Technology, Third Edition
(Russell H. Powell, ed., Oryx Press, Westport, CT, 1994).
1. American Institute of Physics Handbook — Although an
old book, it contains much data that are still useful, espe-
cially in acoustics, mechanics, optics, and solid state phys-
ics. (Dwight E. Gray, ed., McGraw-Hill, New York, 1972)
2. Constants of Inorganic Substances — This book pres-
ents physical constants, thermodynamic data, solubility,
reactivity, and other information on over 3000 inorganic
compounds. Since it draws heavily on Russian literature,
it contains a great deal of data that do not make their way
into most U.S. handbooks. (R. A. Lidin, L. L. Andreeva,
and V. A. Molochko, Begell House, New York, 1995)
3. Handbook of Chemistry and Physics — Now in the
88th Edition, the CRC Handbook covers data from most
branches of chemistry and physics. The annual revisions
permit regular updating of the information. Also available
on CDROM [www.crcpress.com] and the Web [hbcpnet-
base.com]. (David R. Lide, ed., CRC Press, Boca Raton,
FL, 2007)
4. Handbook of Inorganic Compounds — This book covers
physical constants and solubility for about 3300 inorganic
compounds. Also available on CDROM [www.crcpress.
com]. (Dale L. Perry and Sidney L. Phillips, eds., CRC
Press, Boca Raton, FL, 1995)
5. Handbook of Physical Properties of Liquids and
Gases — This is a valuable source of data on all types
of fluids, ranging from liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons
to molten metals and ionized gases. Detailed tables of
physical, thermodynamic, and transport properties are
given for temperatures from the cryogenic region to
6000 K. Western and Russian literature is covered. (N.
B. Vargaftik, Y. K. Vinogradov, and V. S. Yargin, Begell
House, New York, 1996)
6. Handbook of Physical Quantities — The range of cover-
age is somewhat similar to the CRC Handbook of Chemistry
and Physics, but with a stronger emphasis on physics than
on chemistry. Solid state physics, lasers, nuclear physics,
geophysics, and astronomy receive considerable attention.
(Igor S. Grigoriev and Evgenii Z. Meilikhov, eds., CRC
Press, Boca Raton, FL, 1997)
7. Kaye & Laby Tables of Physical and Chemical Constants
— Kaye & Laby dates from 1911, and the 16th Edition was
prepared in 1995 by a committee of experts. The cover-
age extends to almost every field of physics and chemis-
try; data on a limited number of representative substances
or materials are given for each topic. (Longman Group
Limited, Harlow, Essex, U.K., 1995)
B-2 Sources of Physical and Chemical Data
8. Lange’s Handbook of Chemistry — Provides broad cover-
age of chemical data; last updated in 2005. Also available
on the Web [www.knovel.com]. (James G. Speight, ed.,
McGraw-Hill, New York, 2005)
9. Recommended Reference Materials for the Realization
of Physicochemical Properties — This IUPAC book em-
phasizes highly accurate data on substances and materials
that can be used as calibration standards. It covers physical,
thermal, optical, and electrical properties. (K. N. Marsh,
ed., Blackwell Scientific Publications, Oxford, 1987)
10. The Merck Index — Now in its 14th Edition (published in
2006), The Merck Index is a widely used source of data on
over 10,000 compounds, chosen particularly for their im-
portance in biology, medicine, and ecology. A short mono-
graph on each compound gives information on the synthe-
sis and uses as well as physical and toxicological properties.
A CD-ROM accompanies the book. (Maryadele J. O’Neil,
ed., John Wiley & Sons, Indianapolis, IN, 2006)
E. Summary of Useful Web Sites for Physical and
Chemical Properties
Most of the Web sites in the following list provide direct access
to factual data on physical and chemical properties. However, the
list also includes portals that link to different property databases
or describe the procedure for gaining access to electronic sources
of property data. There are also a few chemical directory sites that
are useful for obtaining formulas, synonyms, and registry numbers
for substances of interest.
