the CD-ROM version of the Merck Index with the capability to do structured
searches.
- A one-volume encyclopedia of chemicals, drugs and biologicals that contains more
than 10,000 monographs, 32 supplemental tables, 450 Organic Name Reactions.
- About 4,000 of the entries cover drugs and pharmaceuticals, 2,000 describe
common organic chemicals and laboratory reagents, another 2,000 cover naturally
occurring substances and plants, 1,000 focus on the elements and on inorganic
chemicals, and approximately 1,000 pertain to compounds of agricultural
significance.
- Each monograph in this authoritative reference source is a concise
description of a single substance or a small group of closely related compounds.
In addition, there are more than 700 new and completely revised monographs,
thousands of new references, trademarks and uses added to previous edition's
monographs. Several hundred discuss endogenous substances and biological agents.
- There is an expanded focus on "Green Chemistry" and compounds of environmental
significance. In addition to revisions and updating, enhancements include
embedding the Chemical Abstracts Registry Numbers for title and derivative
compounds within the monographs.

This product adds powerful structure searching capability to the CD included with The Merck Index 14th Edition book. The Merck Index 14th Edition/Chemists provides the user with the ability to find molecules by fragment, sub- or full structures for similarity or exact matching. Structure searching is precise and convenient and includes tautomeric full- and substructure searching. Structured searching finds matches using any of three modalities: - Search type (Normal/Exact/Similar)
- Structure mode (fragment, sub- or full structure)
- Bond type (Aromatic, Any, Tautomeric, S/D, D/A, S/A, etc.)
You can search for structures containing isotopic labels, or tetrahedral stereocenters, or other characteristics. The Merck Index 14th Edition/Chemists powers your ability to search for alternative groups, either in atom labels such as "(OH,H,CONH2,Me)" or drawn using the R-Group features of ChemDraw. Link nodes are supported, so you can search for variable-length rings and chains such as "(-CH2)6-8-" or multi-connected variables ("-R-"). You can now search for any type of single atom ("A, Q, X, M") or any group ("R").
