Reaction Data

If you select both databases and you enter term(s) in this section, you will only retrieve records from Current Chemical Reactions. You will not, however, see this section of the Chemical Search page if you select Index Chemicus® but not Current Chemical Reactions® to search.

  1. In the Reaction Data section, enter term(s) in one or more Reaction Data fields. You can enter up to 11 different terms joined by search operators.

  2. [Optional] Scroll up to the Structure Drawing section to enter a structure query and/or to the Compound Data section to enter compound data terms.

  3. Click Search.

Reaction Data Fields

Atmosphere
