- ChemIDPlus Lite Quick search tool for locating chemical information from government databases.
- Toxnet Free government database for searching for articles on the toxicity of many commonly found compounds.
- NIST Site This is the Federal Government site of the National Institute of Science and Technology. It is a well-maintained, reliable site for physical propertieis of compounds, plus spectra BUT many spectra are vapor spectra, so exercise caution.
- Organic Syntheses Excellent free resource with great details on the syntheses of compounds. All material has been checked and references are included.
- Yaws link to Yaws Handbook with interactive tables
- Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook Perry's Handbook for chemical Engineers, with interactive tables
- Scorecard Track pollution in your community. Locate information on possible chemical pollutants.
