CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics

The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics provides access to quality data you can trust for chemical compounds and physical particles critical for fields such as environmental science, bio-medical chemistry, organic and inorganic chemistry, materials innovation, geo- and astrophysics, and solid-state science.

Every year, new reported data and new scientific areas are added, after being reviewed and evaluated by over 100 subject matter experts. The Handbook aids research within industry and higher education and is available in print and online.

Online database and tools

Supported with digital tools that help to analyze, graph, process, and exploit the data content a subscription provides flexible access to high quality science data. It enables Industrial Chemists, Research Chemists  and Research Scientists to start their investigations on a solid foundation as they explore new chemical spaces and design, optimize, improve, and fix the processes and operations that manufacture chemicals and pharmaceuticals of all types.

The CRC Handbook is divided into four major parts:

1. Data on Chemical Substances:

Meets the continuing need for highest-quality foundational data on atoms and molecules to support development and use of chemicals, materials, and physical systems based on new instrumentation, experimental techniques, and advanced modeling, simulation, and computation, including knowledge discovery methods.

2. Data for the Practice of Chemistry and Physics:

Supports the growing need for application-focused, high-quality chemistry and physics data in education, environmental science, materials development, industrial processes, and the study of the Earth and the Universe.

3. Data for Modern Chemical Laboratories:

Recognizes that modern chemical laboratory science relies on high-quality data and reliable information as analytical techniques expand in number and capability in identifying the composition and amounts of chemical substances in chemical, bio-medical, and physical systems of increasing complexity and size.

4. Reference Tables and Indices:

Provides access to important scientific units and constants and the norms of chemical and physical nomenclature, symbols, and terminology; includes extensive table of conversion factors
