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.

For substances with a number prefix such as 2-Butanol or 1,3-Cyclohexadiene , please use the first letter of the name (in this case under B or C) to find the compound. Note that such names usually have the first letter capitalised in a title or at the beginning of a sentence.

Relevant links for chemical compounds are:
  • The CAS Substance Databases , which contains information on about 23 million compounds.

  • Chemfinder {Link without Title} is helpful for finding information about a chemical (disable and delete Cookie s!).

  • 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 Safety Data Sheets, plus other relevant links.

Please note that whilst most compounds are referred to by their IUPAC Name , "traditional" names have also been kept where they are in wide use or of significant historical interest.
