offer a diagnostic resource for resolution of newly prepared compounds; and
supplement existing entries by new structural and bibliographic information as
they become available (the database is updated quarterly).
The sources of the data comprise not only the primary chemical literature from
international journals and patents (including the synthetic chemistry literature), but
