About R&D Chemicals

R&D Chemicals is a common and freely accessible chemicals catalog and directory of suppliers of products and services for research and development over the internet.

One of the biggest problems of traditional search engines like Google, Yahoo, AltaVista is that simple keyword-based queries often return vast amount of irrelevant information. Most of scientists’ time is inefficiently used in sieving of irrelevant information from the search engines. Also traditional search engines cannot search chemical compounds by structure and substructure. In this context, R&D Chemicals, a web site designed for the specific requirements of researchers and scientists, was created.

We hope to make contribution to development of the Internet for chemists especially working in the field of drug discovery in the pharmaceutical and biotechnological industry.

The goal of this project is to create a common and freely accessible database of chemicals and directory of companies providing products and services that support drug discovery in the pharmaceutical and biotechnological industry.

We are sorry for the advertisements everywhere, and we know they are annoying. We never wanted to keep advertisements on this website. But it will help make the site better in the long run.

The R&D Chemicals is a database of chemical compounds accessible over Internet. Its search engine allows you to find a chemical by its molecular formula, IUPAC name, common name, CAS number, catalog number, structure or substructure.


The R&D Chemicals is a directory of companies providing HTS equipment, fine chemicals, custom peptide synthesis, building blocks, compound libraries, custom synthesis and services that support drug discovery in the pharmaceutical industry. Also the R&D Chemicals is a free service that allows to find a chemical by its molecular formula, IUPAC name, common name, CAS number, catalog number, substructure or physical characteristics as well as chemical suppliers.
