Spectral Database System (SDBS) (http://riodb01.ibase.aist.go.jp/sdbs/cgi-bin/cre_index.cgi?lang=eng) An excellent database of NMR and MS spectra
A nice web site for ¹³C chemical shifts. There is also a ¹H page that lists lots of examples, not particularly useful for trend analysis but great for looking up a particular shift.
Thermodynamics of Enzyme-Catalyzed Reactions
Fundamental Constants from NIST
NIST Standard Reference Database Thermodynamic data, MS, and sometimes other spectra
Named Reactions in Organic Chemistry; why do organic chemists give reactions names?
More Named Reactions in Organic Chemistry
Organic Topics
Organic Syntheses - a terrific source, but its search routine is hopeless!
Periodic Table Several Periodic Tables with different features
Table of the Nuclides A chart of atomic isotopes, with several cool features
Periodic Table of Comics For a really different Periodic Table...
Demonstrations of chemical reactions and how to do them. Descriptions of the procedures and the underlying principles are well presented, though sometimes only in German.
Linus Pauling A collection of Pauling's papers, photos, letters, etc from the library of his alma mater, Oregon State University.
