Reaxys: Searching Spectra

Finding Spectra in Reaxys

Reaxys does not directly provide spectra, but does cite and link to the articles in which spectra are found.

  • Searching by the CAS number is efficient.

2. You will likely get a set of results for Substances, and a set of results for Documents. Choose View Results in the Substances result box.

6. Full Text will direct you back to the GSU Library Catalog. Follow the full text links to view the article or download the PDF containing the spectrum.

Note: For many articles, the actual spectra may be located in "Supporting Information: or "Supplemental Information", which is often a separate PDF download from the main article. There will usually be a link for the extra information on the page where you accessed the article on the publisher's website or at the end of the article itself (usually right before the references).
