The chemical substance file on DIALOG, CHEMSEARCHTM, File 398, is a non-bibliographic file of chemical substances registered through Chemical Abstracts Service.
Each record describes a single chemical entity, and contains the CAS® Registry Number(s), molecular formula, CA Substance Index Name(s), available synonyms, complete ring data, and other chemical substance information. Also included are value added enhancements such as the number of records in File 399 CA SEARCH, chemical name segmentation, the ability to MAP CAS Registry Numbers and chemical names between files, and added fields such as Element Count, Periodic Index Terms, and Number of Components.
The primary purpose of this file is to support specific substance searching and various forms of substructure searching in the DIALOG chemical files. The CAS® Registry Number can be very effectively used to search for information about specific chemicals in several DIALOG databases (see DIALINDEX® categories RNCHEM, and CASREGNO).
ONTAP® CHEMSEARCHTM, File 231, is available for ONline Training And Practice. It contains 52,951 records. The substances in File 231 correspond to many of those covered in the bibliographic records in File 204, ONTAP® CA SEARCH, as well as other ONTAP® files containing CAS Registry Numbers.
