Chempedia, an alternative to Merck Index?
Depth-first, a chemistry blog, has published an interesting article on Chempedia, a free, structure-oriented online encyclopedia of chemical compounds that utilizes Wikipedia for maintaining the data.
I think you'd find ChemSpider another alternative. ChemPedia is based on Wikipedia content...about 7000 monographs I believe. ChemSPider has over 20 MILLION molecules and has the Wikipedia content as a subset yoo...with links to the monographs. Searchable by text, structure, substructure and a myriad of other approaches. Check out www.chemspider.com
