Reaxys® provides information on organic, inorganic and organometallic compounds with structures, physical data and chemical properties (reactions) as well as the corresponding literature starting from 1771 (Beilstein/Gmelin). It also contains patents in the field of life sciences and organic chemistry. More than 400 pieces of chemical information or physical properties are documented for each substance, along with pharmacological, toxicological and ecological data linked to the corresponding literature references.
Reaxys® is curated by scientists and uses artificial intelligence for comprehensive searching and accurate results.
