Trial Resource: Reaxys Chemistry Database
The SDSU library is excited to pilot the Reaxys database for the duration of December. Reaxys is a comprehensive chemistry database and information tool that provides access to chemical structures, properties, and reactions with references to journal articles, patents, and other literature. It is designed to improve research productivity by offering features like a synthesis planner, detailed property data, and supplier information. The database is used by researchers in many fields, such as pharmaceutical development and material science, to find information and support their work.
Reaxys is an integrated platform designed to empower multi-disciplinary innovation and support researchers toward groundbreaking discovery. This powerful database provides an unrivalled value proposition by breaking down information silos, streamlining workflows, and harnessing AI-driven insights to accelerate discoveries. Reaxys features Enhanced Multidisciplinary Coverage, including new IPC classes added to support cross-departmental research in material science and semiconductors. Researchers can utilize innovative features like AI-Driven Substance Discoverability and live integration of the pioneering Iktos RT Predictive Capability to revolutionize their work.
For advanced research, the platform offers tools such as the Synthetic Accessibility API and enhanced models for Advanced Predictive Retrosynthesis, which provide diverse and rapid synthetic route predictions. Furthermore, the database boasts impressive scale, offering access to 268 million substances and 47 million bioactivities, with data sourced from 105 patent offices and over 19,000 periodicals. Users can enhance their discovery process using the new Semantic (Vector) Search (in beta launch) for improved literature and competitive intelligence retrieval. Seamlessly integrated with ScienceDirect and Scopus, Reaxys is praised by academic staff as "the easiest and most comprehensive tool for searching molecules and their properties”.
