SciFinder, available on Microsoft Windows or Apple Macintosh platforms, is linked to CAS (Chemical Abstracts Service) databases. You may search for chemical data via a molecular formula, chemical name, chemical structure, reaction structure, author name, or topic of interest.
Also included: chemistry-related information from biotechnology to environmental science to toxicology, and more. Substance information includes molecular structures, names, formulas, and CAS Registry Numbers. Along with its comprehensive file of organic compounds, the CAS Registry also covers coordination compounds, polymers, biosequences, stereoisomers, and alloys.
The site "CAS Serving the Academic Community" offers detailed information about CAS database content available with SciFinder Scholar, Links to basic and intermediate training and more.
SciFinder
Scholar 2007
Compatible with Windows VistaTM and Mac OS X
SciFinder Scholar 2007 offers powerful new features:
•Categorize
references—this tool enables you to sort and evaluate information
in your answer sets by creating a histogram for easy analysis. Categorize
separates related references on the basis of their associated CA index
terms. With categorize, you can reassemble the different subsets
in unique ways creating opportunities for new insights.
•Save answers—now
you can save answer lists of references, substances, or reactions and
re-use them later in other SciFinder Scholar sessions.
•Combine
answer sets—the combine tool makes it possible to focus on a particular
research topic in new ways by combining the substances, reactions, and
references in an active answer set with those in a previously saved one.
By employing various options of Combine, Intersect, or Remove, you can
manipulate and customize the information contained in these combined answer
sets.
•Export
commercial chemicals records from CHEMCATS® into Excel—create
reports listing your favorite commercial sources, including contact information
and pricing, for substances of interest. Catalog information is exported
into Excel spreadsheets for sorting, manipulation, and reference.
•Explore
from substance displays—become more productive by using a substance
record display to launch a new search or refine a previous one.
•Print structures
in grid format—gain a unique comparative view of multiple chemical
structures by printing them side by side in this handy grid arrangement.
Please note:
1) If you depend upon Discovery StudioTM
Visualizer, third-party software from Accelrys, to view structures in
3D, please be advised that only DS Visualizer versions 1.5 or earlier
work with SciFinder Scholar 2007. Installing DS Visualizer
1.7, the current version available from the Accelrys web site, will cause
3D viewing to stop functioning with SciFinder Scholar 2007.
To remedy any dysfunction with DS Visualizer 1.7: please install the ViewerLite
software and the ViewerLite patch from the myCAS site or use an earlier
version.
2) Effective with this release, CAS
will no longer offer support of SciFinder Scholar 2007 with Mac OS X 10.2.
3) CAS will discontinue support for
SciFinder Scholar Mac OS 9 on December 31, 2007. You will receive
a reminder prior to discontinuation.
