Vogel's Practical Organic Chemistry is my GOAT. I'll be sure to look at Mayr's and the Bordwell pKa table this upcoming term... those would have saved me many headaches in the past!
True I forgot to include Vogel - another one of the greats
This video alone is a S-tier resource itself. A meta-resource featuring important resources. Indeed really helpful !!
When I first clicked on this video it said the length was 2½ hours, but then I was relieved to see that was just the add that I had to watch first.
I have no idea why someone would do that.. unless they're purposely trying to tank their video analytics 😅
@@NathanaelNewton I know sometimes you can choose when the interruptions occur but I don't think he has any choice over what adds Google puts.
I'm just glad to skip ad button hadn't crashed!!!
I hate it when it crashes and you can't skip ads and you have to reboot your whole system..
@@petevenuti7355 I meant the person running the ad, because all ads are actually CZcams videos, if they want the video to be recommended by the algorithm.. the worst thing you can possibly do is run it as an ad that people will click skip and only watch 10 or 15 seconds.

_Yes_
Has the same energy as my high school tests in subjects I wasn't interested in 😂
its giving 'we investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong'
Honestly its pretty easy, the best chemistry ressource must surely be oil!
Damn i thought it was water
But what about carbon?
Oil IS carbon and water!!!
As long as you have a little oxygen
"oil up I'll be there in 5"
Did we up and forget about the ScienceMadness forums? That's pretty much the social media for chemists both professional and novice alike, lol.
Up for scimadness! They also have great instructions for proper disposal of most common reagents
I love the CRC handbook, my late grandfather was a physicist, and when I was growing up, my bedroom was the room that used to be his study, and many of his books were still there including the CRC handbook. I used to read it, and will obviously most of it went over my head, there were sections on first aid and responding to chemical fires, that I absorbed completely. I myself work in physics as a lab technician now, but that book will always hold a special place in my heart
That is a great story - thanks for sharing :)
THE HANDBOOK,, I got my first one by stealing it from a high school chemistry classroom while I was a pipefitters helper working on the heating and cooling systems... there's TONS of interesting stuff beyond all the math and physics tables,, I learned organic chemistry nomenclature and the elements and lots of other things... then I lost it in a bust (long story),, and since I missed the book so much I stole another one from Walter science library at the UM Minneapolis,, dumping it out the window of the 5th floor of the stacks because they had a walk through theft deterrent rig to stop people from taking reference books...
Chemspider is great and free if you know the structure but not the name of more crazy organic molecules. You can draw the molecules and it gives you the name.
You can find more stuff on Wikipedia if you switch languages
This is another really good piece of advice - especially German Wikipedia
pubchem my beloved
Gotta love when you post a new video, you're literally my favourite channel
Glad you enjoy it! Have a great day
I still use the DOT hazmat response booklet that I "borrowed" from work before I left many years ago. mostly because, it is the most relevant resource that I need to avoid getting hurt. lol.
18:24 what an incredible company name
Their actual name is sigma aldrich but they're known in the community as ligma baldrich.
Rhodium suspiciously absent
the hive is still buzzing
Rhodium is great for certain things of dubious legality. I find myself reading articles on there from time to time. Some info on there is still useful for stuff that’s not legally questionable too.
As a non-chemist researcher currently involved in biochemistry and materiales engineering this is an amazing treasure. I might not grasp it's full potential, hopefully yet, the references alone are absolutely worth it while I educate myself. Thanks a lot.
I hope it does help! Make sure to check out KEGG and BLAST if you are doing biochem!
Thanks but I will just stick to the guy behind the Taco Bell dumpster
This is REALLY useful: thank you. I'm old, jaded and internet addicted, and even I didn't know some of those. To a new doctoral student, I imagine this is absolute gold.
There should be a giant list of these things for every subject.
Where is "Eh, I'll just wing it"?
In Eh tier
ehF
According to legend , he can sometimes be glimpsed on a moonless night , behind the big orange van , in the better class of trailer parks .
That’s in the “HELL NO!” tier.
Dude why have I not heard of pubpeer? Not me literally using this source everytime I reproduce a cross-coupling reaction from now on
14:57
Why not "D" for disappointing? 😛
For anyone struggling with NMR - be sure to check Reich's NMR collection. Not only he describes a principia of this technique but based on literature precedents he collected useful data, such as chemical shifts or coupling constants for many compounds - proton, carbon, fluorine. Saved me many times! Check whole site because there is more than that.
Also Pavia’s introduction to spectroscopy - one of the best explanations of NMR and IR imo
Hesse Mayer Zeeh is a book i use a loooooot in Germany....hope there is an English version :)
I literally just finished all of my lab courses! I wish this list was around sooner
This was why I prioritized making this video sooner - I felt bad for hoarding all this knowledge when people could be utilizing it
I might actually come back to this video in the future when i have an assignment to do, thanks!
I like benchchem for their retrosynthesis planner! It can be hit or miss since it's statistically generated using reaxys data, but if you change the number of possibilities from 5 to like 20 it sometimes comes up with some out of the box ideas.
Even if their main thing is being a chemical vendor that won't just outright tell you the price of what you wanna buy
Czako and Kürti's Strategic Applications of Named Reactions in Organic Synthesis is a pretty good book for learning about reactions, with a section on the mechanism and various examples and variations.
academia having a tanty at the accessibility
Oh man I’ve never heard tantrum abbreviated like that before
H. Bennet's Chemical formulary
Is Erowid Library even considered a legitimate resource?
If we are talking about books, I am pretty sure there is nothing better then March (4 thomes), and for laboratory chemistry - "modern methods of organic chemistry" by Grygorenko O.O. (it's my teacher's lectures basically)
You are Ukrainian?
Anna’s Archive?
Organikum is also a really great book for chemists. However, i could not find a english version which is kind of sad as it starts with some really basic stuff you would like to know when you start with your chemistry studies.
Thank you so much for sharing this Joey! 🙏🙏
My pleasure!
my favourite resource in terms of just generally being extremely useful for what it is (also as a good memory) is the trusty BiNaS: a handbook given to dutch high school students who take chemistry and/or biology and/or physics. such a handy little book. while it does not contain huuuge amounts of information (mostly just the basics, but thats the point) it's very helpful for those who are still in the beginning of learning.
as to the name: it's an acronym for Biologie, Natuurkunde, Scheikunde (literally Biology, Physics, chemistry). i love binas, everyone loves binas
Thank you alot for this one, this is super useful!
babe wake up That Chemist dropped a new video
Scihub is amazing! I wasn't expecting you to mention it 😂 🏴☠️
Using scihub for an article requires fewer steps than legitimately accessing articles through a university library login process
where is cas scifinder
its in there!
its the purple benzene icon, that's their old logo.
pihkal better be s tier m8
We gotta make big man Shulgin proud out here.
Both of Dr. Shulgin’s books are excellent! RIP Shulgin.
n important reference is Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards.
I think PrepChem is a pretty good one too for begginer amateur chemist
You're a hero TC
I’m happy to share what I got
Surprised not seeing The Silverstein spectroscopy of organic compounds book on here.
I’m more partial to Pavia but both are excellent resources
Anna's archive also can help students get access to free papers and books.
no mention of German Wikipedia?
Maybe the title should be directed to synthetic chemistry
I sometimes doubt about the uses of AI since their method of learning can sometimes be "weird" but there is one called "Decimer AI" That gives you different system codenames for molecules (such as smiles or CAS) when you input a picture.
Although I prefer a lot to input a random molecule image, asking for the output and then editing with the drawing pop-up on the result.
Maybe it isn't THE most useful resource ever but since I'm still on college learning and nailing down the names of bigger molecules sometimes is a pain as I didn't have enough time to learn that many things to associate compounds or names of more complex organic molecules
Why isn't Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook on here, but the Rubber Company's is?
1. Great video. 2. Nice to see some comments ( not passionate!). 3. To muddy up the placid pool, why March and Carey- Sundberg are not in the list.
The video all chemists have been waiting for
not a chemist but a writer with a chemist character ! they specialize in fireworks and general pyrotechnics and I want to learn more about it to write them better, does anyone have a good starting point(s) to learn more about firework-related chem, and chemistry in general? (had a godawful chem teacher, learned next to nothing and would like to learn some basics as well.) cheers !
Here is a great primer from Veritasium - czcams.com/video/lfkjm2YRG-Q/video.htmlsi=EKXUV6EUPL47JsCg
sci-hub + Google scholar

Perfect. I appreciate this
Glad it was helpful! It had been on my mind for a while, and I am glad that I was finally able to get around to making it :)
Have you used Synthia the Rethrosynthetic AI from Merck? It is insane how good it is at full synthesis
You can tell you're in organic if you think the Merck Manual is slightly better than the CRC Handbook.
I need this
Beakers, bro…..beakers..nothing more precious than beakers and flasks. Like I’m surprised it’s not a form of currency amongst us Chemists and ChemE’s yet
Good video. Love fron China.
Ethics? Suuurreee
Have you all tried culinary arts?
CRC Handbook is to chemists as Machinerys Handbook is to mechanical engineers.
Probably water or gravity?
What about Sciencemadness forums?
Why isn't the sciencemadness wiki on here?
Wonder where bing would be
What about Chemsketch? For me was pretty useful since 1999. 😬
What do you think about SynArchive?
Good list but Crc handbook is S tier...
I love how arbitrary your rankings are, “It’s free but S tier is pretty full” 🤣
I hope sci-hub survives!
What aboudt the most useful chemistry if you start from scrats ? What is the 3 most useful substans after the zombie apo ( got eaten by a zoombie )
I fkn love mol view
I'm my of a scifinder guy myself.
I was born a scifinder guy, but they had a limit of like ~20,000 results when searching for substructures and it was constantly an issue for me for literal years. It’s not an issue on Scifinder-n, but they lost me for Reaxys’ attractive bioactivity search info
@@That_Chemist I do supramolecular chemistry, so I can reasonably narrow down my search to the core of the building blocks I need. I can imagine that it's harder for natural products.
Anyone knows where ullmanns encyclopedia pdfs can be found?
I think book still the best
babe wake up, new research lore has been dropped
19:25 university of ROARchester?
you caught me red-handed - I said it back in my head and I knew you were right
German Wikipedia deserves its own entry. If you won't find the page in English, you probably will in German.
CZcams having superior post-publication review capabilities to scientific journals is concerning...
CZcams can be a good resource too
And here I thought you were going to be talking about specific chemicals.. 1:17
this video is a dream for clandestine “enthusiasts”
Oh yeah i just I just learned like 4 new resources :D
Hi.
eyy fellow vancouverite
Well if there were accurate references it would all lead back to the government
Breaking bad
Wrong, its money
Science madness forums gang

The first one to comment finaly!
Dark web best 😊
if you want bad recipes and mediocre products then yeah
No. Rhodium.
where’s scifinder
