Spectral Database for Organic Compounds

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Spectral Database for Organic Compounds (SDBS) is a database that contains the molecular spectra of over 34,000 organic compounds (as of May 2015) and is operated by the Japanese National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology . Use is free of charge and the spectra can be freely used for private, public and non-profit purposes, provided the source is named. The commercial use of the spectra is subject to a license that has to be negotiated with the AIST on a case-by-case basis. Up to 50 spectra can be downloaded per day.

Up to six different spectra are displayed for each compound ( mass spectrum , 1 H-NMR , 13 C-NMR, infrared spectrum , Raman spectrum and ESR spectrum ). To ensure that the spectra were generated under controlled and reproducible conditions, most of the available spectra were measured at the AIST.

  • Listed connections: approx. 34600
  • MS: approx. 25,000 spectra
  • 1 H-NMR: approx. 15900 spectra
  • 13 C-NMR: approx. 14200 spectra
  • FT-IR: approx. 54100 spectra
  • Raman: approx. 3500 spectra
  • ESR: approx. 2000 spectra

No new entries are made for the Raman and ESR measurements. The exact conditions of the measurement and the equipment used are specified by AIST in detail.

Most of the substances measured are commercial products from manufacturers of fine chemicals .
