Beilstein CrossFire
Comprehensive, Accurate, High Performance Access to Chemical
Information
Beilstein Information System
BIS is a chemical data base containing the information of Beilstein
Handbooks (for organic compounds) and Gmelin Handbooks (for inorganic
compounds). Information such as references to the syntheses, spectra
and the physical properties of compounds can be searched. Searches
using structural fragments are possible.
At the Computer Center, Beilstein is available on
Cancer (a Micron Pentium).
The chemistry library has another copy running and holds a
campus wide licence for it. Please contact the scientific software consultant
at CANS or the chemistry librarian
Tina Chrzastowski for the password to run CrossFire at any uiuc.edu
PC or MAC.
