Databases
- The CAS database is the most comprehensive repository for data on organic compounds. The search tool SciFinder is offered .
- The Beilstein database contains information on 9.8 million substances, covers the scientific literature from 1771 to the present, and is today accessible via CrossFire. Structures and a large diversity of physical and chemical properties is available for each substance, with reference to original literature.
- PubChem contains 18.4 million entries on compounds and especially covers the field of medicinal chemistry.
There is a great number of more specialized databases for diverse branches of organic chemistry.

Structure determination
Today, the main tools are proton and carbon-13 NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography.
