This list is not necessarily complete or up to date – if you see an article that should be here but isn't (or one that shouldn't be here but is), please update the page accordingly.

Relevant links for chemical compounds are:

• The CAS Substance Databases, which contains information on about 23 million compounds.
• Chemfinder [1] is helpful for finding information about a chemical (disable and delete cookies!).
• ChemIDplus at http://chem.sis.nlm.nih.gov/chemidplus/ is a useful non-commercial source for chemical lookups
• http://physchem.ox.ac.uk/MSDS/ Material Data Safety Sheets, plus other relevant links.

These (commercial) links may also provide useful information:
