Free access to full-text articles from over 80 Elsevier Science chemistry journals is offered. Of special interest for organic chemists are e.g. Tetrahedron, Tetrahedron Letters, Tetrahedron Asymmetry, Journal of Organometallic Chemistry, Journal of Fluorine Chemistry etc. http://www.sciencedirect.com/


2. Journal of Organic Chemistry: Recent Reviews 65

Recent Reviews in "The Journal of Organic Chemistry" compiles the major English-language sources of critical reviews. It is published a few times a year and the documents can be accessed free via the Internet. http://pubs.acs.org/subscribe/journals/joceah/suppinfo/jo023584r/jo023584r_s1.doc


3. Free access to abstracts of "Green Chemistry"

"Green Chemistry" reports on research activities and interests in chemical aspects of clean technology from academic, industrial and public sectors. Access to the graphical abstracts of papers appearing in the web version of Green Chemistry is now free. Also, all PDF journal articles published before January 2000 are also freely available.
