Elsevier FT-Raman and FT-IR Polymer Database for ACD/Labs
This database includes pairs of IR and Raman spectra of 500 polymers and related materials provided with drawn structures, and substance/sample information collected in searchable User Data fields and Tables of Peaks.
NIST IR Database for ACD/Labs
This database contains gas-phase FT-IR absorption spectra for over 5200 organic compounds compiled by both the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). You can track the compounds by their chemical structure, molecular formula, CAS registry number, and chemical name.
Coblentz Society Special Collections for ACD/Labs
The Coblentz Society Special Collection of over 9500 IR spectra were digitized by NIST and have been converted to the ACD/Optical Workbook database format, allowing spectral or chemical structure searches, as well as providing capabilities to process, analyze, and interpret the vibrational patterns found in the hit.

FDM FT-IR Databases for ACD/Labs
FDM FT-IR Spectra of Polymers and Polymer Additives
This database is an excellent reference of commonly-utilized polymers and polymer additives including plasticizers, catalysts, antioxidants, additives, UV absorbers, stabilizers, and other chemicals related to the production of polymer-based materials. The polymers include materials such as cellulose derivatives, common glues, EVA copolymers, polyethylenes, nylons, nitriles, acrylates and methacrylates, polypropylenes, and styrene/butadiene copolymers.
FDM FT-IR Spectra of Surfactants
This database of the spectra of detergents, wetting agents, emulsifiers, and other surfactant materials includes clear, meaningful chemical names recognizable by analytical chemists, research chemists, process engineers, and regulators. Many spectra have HLB (Hydrophilic Lipophilic Balance) values listed with the chemical names. Several surveys of important families of compounds are included such as:
The database also includes many surfactant materials formulated with oleates, palmitates, stearates, abietates, caprates, laurates, myristates, naphthenates, ricinoleates, sulfonates, glycols, amines, diamines, amides, diamides, ethanolamides, and many more.
FDM FT-IR Spectra of Minerals and Inorganic Compounds
Based on the original 130 spectra from the FDM FT-IR Spectra of Minerals, this expanded collection includes more mineral spectra and over 120 spectra of inorganic compounds. This excellent reference for analytical chemists and geologists alike contains basic inorganic materials and minerals used in the industry.
FDM FT-IR Spectra of Organic Compounds
This database was designed for the industrial FT-IR user concerned with materials important to industrial processes, such as solvents and reagents, and basic organic chemicals. These high quality spectra are ideal as a general reference tool. Chemical classes represented included acids, esters, ethers, alcohols, alkanes, alkenes, amines, aldehydes, amides, anhydrides, lactones, thiols, ketones, benzenes, pyridenes, nitriles, and many more.
FT-IR Spectra of Drugs / Canadian Forensic Spectra
These spectra represent both free and HCl complexed forms of over-the-counter drugs, pharmaceuticals, controlled substances, intermediates, excipients, and fillers. It is ideal for Forensic FT-IR users and those in need of a database suitable for general reference in academic and industrial FT-IR labs.
FDM Raman Databases for ACD/Labs
FDM Raman Spectra of Organic Compounds
This database is an excellent reference of commonly-utilized organic compounds. It includes small organic compounds, amino acids, a number of dyes and over the counter pharmaceuticals, polymers, and even some inorganic compounds. The spectra were taken with a dispersive Raman instrument between 200 cm-1 to 2000 cm-1. Each spectrum was individually background subtracted to rationally and properly correct for even the toughest fluorescence background problems.
These spectra for drug substances found in the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) provide a valuable reference across a wide range of scientific disciplines. The spectra were taken with a dispersive Raman instrument between 200 cm-1 to 2000 cm-1. In most cases, the spectra were individually background subtracted to rationally and properly correct for even the toughest fluorescence background problems.
S.T. Japan FT-IR and Raman Databases for ACD/Labs
ATR/FTIR Aldrich-ICHEM Databases
Over 25,000 high-quality attenuated total reflectance infrared spectra of organic and inorganic compounds, as well as some polymers and industrial chemicals are available in this comprehensive database compiled by ICHEM through samples from Fine Chemical manufacturers in Japan, or by the Aldrich Chemical Company.

The SDBS FT-IR database is one of the world's largest and highest-quality FT-IR databases with over 50,000 spectra. The FT-IR transmission data was prepared by Japanese National Laboratories, employing rigorous procedures and sample preparation methods using either KBr, Nujol, or Liquid Film. Spectral quality was continuously checked by expert spectroscopists. To ensure that the database contains the highest purity standard samples, each sample was cross-validated by NMR and MS techniques. The database also includes polymers and commercial samples such as packaging materials and plasticizers.

Raman ICHEM Database for ACD/Labs
The Raman database is composed of 4000 spectra measured by the National Japanese Laboratory or obtained from the S.T. Japan ICHEM library. Like the SDBS FT-IR effort, the Raman databases were expertly obtained through rigorous methodology and use only the highest sample purity standards. The Raman database also includes polymers and commercial samples.
