This is the most important and useful chemistry book for chemists and advanced level organic chemistry students. It shows all the physical constants, structures, information about synthesis, toxicity and use and reference. Although there are a few sites that provides the free online Merck Index, if you are into organic chemistry, it is not a bad idea to buy this one. It is much cheaper than the CRC Handbook of chemistry and physics!

The Merck Index is another one of those rare reference books which achieves 'Biblical' status. It is essential reading for anyone who works with chemicals/biologicals/pharmaceuticals. Highly recommended!

The Merck Index contains detailed information for roughly 10000 relatively common chemicals found in industry, medicine, and agriculture. This book is a MUST-HAVE for anyone who works with chemicals or expects to come in contact with chemicals. Details include formula, structure, trade names, further bibliographic references, physical properties, some chemical reactivity data, uses, and information about human and veternary uses and toxicities. Common name and formula indices help the reader find what they are looking for.PARENTS - this is actually a great book to give to aspiring students of the physical sciences. It is clear, accessible, and browsing through it begins to give the student a feel for the relationships between structure and activity.

This book has everything a great book should have. The reader feels that the book speaks directly to his/her problems, and what the book has to say will make you laugh, cry, even slam the book shut and scream. It is somewhat heavy, but worth every ounce.

personally, I think that this index has the most innacurate information available. It never has what most people need and it's too hard to use.
