Comprehensive Chemometrics is a new 4-volume work that pulls key information into a single source for quick access to answers and/or in-depth examination. Stanford has purchased the digital version of this major reference work. View the table of contents.

“Since its emergence nearly 40 years ago, chemometrics research has provided scientists from across the disciplines with techniques for chemical instrumentation and measurement on the one hand, and statistical and computational theory on the other. Rapid changes in technology mean the field is ever-evolving; it is critical for the researcher to stay on top of these changes, applying knowledge from current literature and up-to-date techniques to his or her work.

This authoritative reference brings together a global team of authors to provide the basic and advanced information necessary for scientists to analyze and interpret chemical and biochemical data — and for chemical engineers, medicinal chemists, statisticians, and others to turn research findings into tangible results for use in a range of applications and industries.

Key Features

• Presents and explains each technique — including its merits and limitations — through introductions, detailed reviews, and extensive full-color illustrations
• Provides a global perspective on this rapidly evolving field, with contributions from authors around the world, working in both academia and industry”

Now available via the web as a campus-wide site license, 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 29,000 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.

Advances in Chemical Physics is an international forum for the review and critical evaluation of the science that has propelled every area of the discipline. Each volume contains discussions of aspects of the state of diverse subjects in chemical physics and related fields, with chapters written by top researchers in the field from around the world.

The series now comprises more than 130 volumes covering the period from the mid 1960s to the present. Collectively, they represent the history of modern chemical physics. Discussions of all areas of chemical physics, with extensions to biophysics and soft matter physics can be found in these volumes.

Edited by such eminent scientists as Nobel Laureate Ilya Prigogine and National Medal of Science Winner Stuart Rice, this series has played a key role in defining the field.

At present, the ICSD contains:

• 1,400 crystal structures of the elements
• 23,000 records for binary compounds
• 42,500 records for ternary compounds
• 45,000 records for quarternary and quintenary compounds
• About 90,000 entries (70,3%) have been assigned a structure type. There are currently 4,860 structure prototypes.

New Features of ICSD Web include:

• New and extended information about ICSD including complete Help information
• Enhanced search functionality: easy to use and intuitive search interface
• Easy analysis of large and complex data sets
• Simple and powerful query management: load, modify and save queries
• Personalization/User Profiles for IP access based account

The ICSDWeb interface is divided into 6 parts:

1. The header shows a welcome message. The “Logout” button allows you to leave the current session. After database searches have been performed, a “Print” button will appear.
2. The Navigation allows you to jump back to the “Basic Search” form, to access specialized pages for performing advanced searches, and to manage your queries.
3. The main interface is the central working place for the ICSD. Here you can enter and refine searches.
4. The search action field allows you to run, save and clear your current query.
5. In the search summary field preliminary numbers of results are shown.
6. The Query History field contains your last 30 performed searches and allows you to access them quickly and conveniently.

Many options are available for display and analysis of results. For more details, screen shots, examples and a detailed description please have a look at FIZ Karlsruhe’s ICSD: Inorganic Crystal Structure Database and Introduction to ICSD Web.

Published in 2008 and available online in 2009, Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry III (CHEC-III) is a 15-volume reference work that provides the first point of entry to the literature for all scientists interested in heterocyclic ring systems. Stanford has purchased the online version of this key resource. Since publishing in 1984, Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry (CHEC) has become the standard work on the subject, indispensable to all serious readers in the interdisciplinary areas where heterocycles are employed. CHEC-III builds on and complements the material in CHEC and CHEC-II and is designed to be used both alone and in conjunction with these two works. Written by leading scientists who have evaluated and summarized the most important data published over the last decade, Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry III will be an invaluable addition to the reference library of those working with heterocyclic ring systems.
