SciFinder-n, an upgraded version of SciFinder, is the most comprehensive database and tool for discovering chemical information. It is developed by Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS).
The platform contains contents from journal articles to information on chemical structures, properties, and reactions. Users can search literature by topic, author, and search substances by name or CAS Registry Number, or drawing a chemical structure.
