Intro

SciFinder and Reaxys complement each other like apple and orange. They have different focus and approach in indexing literature. The choice depends on the specific questions and interests you have.

SciFinder

Using SciFinder you will benefit from:

  • the comprehensive literature index back to 1985;
  • the expanded coverage of subjects including physics, material and civil engineering besides chemical aspects;
  • biological activity data;
  • Formulas to search details of a formulation, create templates, and find regulatory information;
  • Analytical methods for for searching and comparing the latest published scientific methods.

 

Reaxys

The strong points of Reaxys:

  • chemical reaction and preparation for organic and inorganic substances;
  • measured property data with high precision;
  • physical and chemical data from individual experiment with different conditions.

Derive from the title of the database, compounds search would not be extensive in Reaxys.
