Finding Chemical Spectra and Spectral Data
Ultraviolet and Visible Spectra
- Absorption spectra in the ultraviolet and visible region.
- QC 437 A19 (Academic Press, 1961-82)
- 24 volumes, edited by L. Lang. Each has its own index, and there are also cumulative index volumes for 1-5, 6-10, 11-15, 16-20.
- Atlas of protein spectra in the ultraviolet and visible regions.
- QC 463 P7 K5 (2 vols., IFI/Plenum, 1972-74)
- Indexes by name and source.
- Atlas of spectral data and physical constants for organic compounds.
- see entry in GENERAL SOURCES section.
- Handbook of data on organic compounds. (HODOC)
- see entry in GENERAL SOURCES section.
- Handbook of fluorescence spectra of aromatic molecules.
- QC 463 H9 B4 1971 (I.B. Berlman, ed.; 2nd ed., Academic Press, 1971)
- Fluorescence (emission) and absorption characteristics, graphing photon intensity and molar absorption coefficients, of 200 compounds. Name and formula indexes.
- Handbook of ultraviolet and visible absorption spectra of organic compounds.
- QC 462.85 H5 1967 (Plenum, 1967)
- Part 1 is a table of absorption maxima arranged by chemical structure of the chromophore. Part 2 is the same list arranged by absorption maxima.
- Organic electronic spectral data.
- QC 437 O65 (Wiley, 1946-89)
- Annual index of UV-visible spectra of organic compounds published in the journal literature. Compounds are arranged in Hill formula order and show UV max and logε with a literature reference. A big drawback to this series is that there is no cumulative index; every volume must be consulted.
- Sadtler Ultraviolet Spectra
-- Sadtler page.
- Sigma-Aldrich handbook of stains, dyes and indicators.
- Reference QD 77 G73 1990 (Aldrich Chemical Co., 1990.)
- Alphabetical handbook of 525 common stains and indicators, with lambda-max and UV spectra. Indexed by name/synonym, registry number, lambda-max, C.I. number.
- Tables of spectrophotometric absorption data of compounds used for the colorimetric determination of elements.
- QD 113 I55 (IUPAC/Butterworths, 1963.)
- UV data on elements. Each entry contains: anion or cation formula, colorimetric reagent(s), formula of the colored complex, medium, absorption spectrum, extinction coefficient, Beer's Law range, experimental procedure, interferences, and references.
- TRC spectral data: ultraviolet.
- QC 459 A45 1945-84 (10 vols., Thermodynamics Research Center, 1945-84; 1985-99)
- UV spectra from the Thermodynamics Research Center Hydrocarbon Project. Formula indexes in each vol. 5.
- Ultraviolet and visible absorption spectra.
- QC 437 U477 (3 vols., Academic Press, 1956-66)
- Index of otherwise hard-to-find UV/visible spectra published in 27 major journals between 1930 and 1963. Nomenclature in the index is irregular; the odd journal abbreviations used are defined in the introduction. A * next to a reference indicates a UV spectrum 200-350 mμ (may also include visible portion); ** indicates a vacuum UV spectrum below 200 mμ (may also include UV-VIS regions); no asterisk indicates visible region, 350-800 mμ. Compiled by H.M. Hershenson.

- UV-VIS atlas of organic compounds.
- QC 462.85 P47 1992 (2nd ed., VCH, 1992)
- Name and formula and R-number indexes in vol.2. (This is a revision of the DMS UV atlas of organic compounds that was published in looseleaf from 1966-71.) Compiled by H.-H. Perkampus.
