| | Gmelin Database Overview |
 | | The Gmelin Database is the sister database to Beilstein, covering inorganic and organometallic compounds from 1772 to (presently) 1995. |
 | | Again based on a German publication, the Gmelin Handbuch der anorganischen Chemie, the database currently comprises over 1.5 million compounds, including glasses, alloys, ceramics, minerals and coordination compounds, and 1.3 million reactions. |
 | | Gmelin has wide application outside the chemistry field, as it contains information for (among others) materials scientists, biologists, biochemists, medicinal chemists, geologists and mineralogists. |
