CHM395: Research Project in Chemistry

The resources in this guide will help you through the CHM395 research process from start to finish.

SciFinder-n

SciFinder-n, produced by the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), is the most comprehensive resource for searching the chemical literature. Search substance data, chemical reactions, or scientific literature (journal articles, patents and conference proceedings) by topic, keyword, citation information, substance name or CAS Registry Number. You can also use the structure editor to draw and search for chemical structures, substructures or reactions.

Access and Registration

The University of Toronto community (students, faculty, post-docs, and research staff) are authorized to use SciFinder-n for academic purposes only. Commercial use is prohibited. 

First-time users must register for a SciFinder-n account before accessing. Please follow the instructions below to register:
