Synopsis

The Handbook of Chemistry and Physics on CD-ROM, Version 2007 provides a thorough range of critically evaluated data in a convenient, electronic format. This CD-ROM edition contains all of the information found in the 87th print edition augmented by a range of special utilities, such as structure searching, interactive data management, cross-table searching by topic or structure, and powerful data selection tools that allow you to customize the display and export data.

This year updates and expands many of the most heavily used tables in the book, including:

Physical Properties of Inorganic Compounds - Features nearly 25% more compounds

Enthalpy of Fusion - Contains updated values and 20% more compounds, especially inorganics

Bond Dissociation Energies - Includes 70% more compounds, including for the first time more than 1200 molecular ions

Table of the Isotopes - Brought up to date with research results through the year 2005

Inorganic Ion and Ligand Nomenclature - Incorporates new rules from IUPAC for systematic names

Review

This CD-ROM transfers the handbook to the realm of the electronic...[The program] allows one to search by formula, thermodynamic, or physical property and then combine individual searches for comparison. This is a true boon and it allows one to easily find and then directly compare the physical data. This data can be handily saved, sorted, printed, and exported.

Whilst the CD-ROM does not give the tactile pleasure of the CRC handbook itself, it does contain greatly enhanced functionality... the rapid and general user-friendliness of the interface does allow information to be easily found and then used... [The CD-ROM] can be considered a fantastic and inordinately useful product.
