Resources for Chemistry : Spectral Data

The Directory is a free resource on the CHEMEXPER site. The database currently lists more than 100,000 chemicals from an international range of suppliers and can be searched by molecular formulas, IUPAC names, common names, CAS numbers, catalogue numbers, substructures or physical characteristics in different languages and in combinations of those data.. It contains IR spectra (via interactive applet) for various compounds. Data is submitted from various sources and should not be considered to be critically evaluated.

A PAID Internet service allowing users to upload an infrared or Raman spectrum and compare it to thousands of standard compounds in spectral libraries. It costs about $25 to do a spectral search or $10 to search a text file of the names of materials. A large number of IR libraries that contain nearly 72,000 compounds of forensic and industrial interest are available, and 16,000 Raman spectra are available for comparison.

NIAIST has made available for downloading and reproduction purposes the following:
47,300 ir spectra;
13,700 1H-nmr spectra;
11,800 13C-nmr spectra;
20,500 ms data;
3500 Raman spectra;
2000 esr spectra.
Access to the database and reproduction of the spectra are free of charge, but users are requested not to download more than 50 spectra per day and if they are used in a presentation or a publication, acknowledgement of the original source should be given.

The Atomic Spectra Database (ASD) contains data for radiative transitions and energy levels in atoms and atomic ions. Data are included for observed transitions of 99 elements and energy levels of 56 elements. ASD contains data on about 950 spectra from about 1 Å (Ångströms) to 200 µm (micrometers), with about 72,000 energy levels and 102,000 lines, 40,000 of which have transition probabilities listed. The most current NIST-evaluated data associated with each transition are integrated under a single listing.
Each page of the ASD database (except the ASD home page) includes a menu bar displayed at the top of the page which can be used to navigate through the database.

Three databases of diatomic, triatomic, and hydrocarbon molecules were originally published as spectral tables in the Journal of Physical and Chemical Reference Data. Each covers primarily the microwave region with some data available for the radio frequency region. Rotational spectral lines for 121 diatomic molecules, 55 triatomic molecules, and 91 hydrocarbons have been tabulated. The isotopic molecular species, assigned quantum numbers, observed frequency, estimated measurement uncertainty, and reference are given for each transition.

Web database for organic structures and their NMR spectra. It allows for spectrum prediction (currently only for carbon) as well as for searching spectra, structures and other properties. It features peer-reviewed submission of datasets by users. As of October 2004, the database contained about 11,000 structures and about 12,000 assigned spectra. Some browser compatibility issues; must have JavaScript and Java VM enabled.

FT-IR and NMR spectra of most compounds in the catalog are downloadable as PDF files. Search by catalog number, name, formula, CAS registry number. Chemical/physical information, structure image are displayable. Free registration is required.

The NIST X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) Database gives easy access to the energies of many photoelectron and Auger-electron spectral lines. Resulting from a critical evaluation of the published literature, the database contains over 19,000 line positions, chemical shifts, doublet splittings, and energy separations of photoelectron and Auger-electron lines. A highly interactive program allows the user to search by element, line type, line energy, and many other variables. Users can easily identify unknown measured lines by matching to previous measurements. (NIST)
