Reaxys is based on the combined content of CrossFire Beilstein (Organic Chemistry), Crossfire Gmelin (Inorganic and Organometallic Chemistry), and the Patent Chemistry Database. Searchable via a web interface, Reaxys contains an extensive repository of experimentally validated data that chemists need including structures, reactions (including multi-step reactions) and physical properties. Users can get relevant data not found elsewhere, drawn from source publications carefully selected for their importance and relevance to synthetic chemists.

Features include:
