Wikipedia:ChemSpider

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ChemSpider is a service of the Royal Society of Chemistry. It is a database of data about chemicals. It generates a unique identifier for each molecule, and these are used in Wikidata and in Wikipedia's {{Chembox}} template.

Obtaining an identifier value

[edit]

The ChemSpider URL for, say, Aesculin is:

http://www.chemspider.com/Chemical-Structure.4444765.html

This may appear in the browser as, for example:

http://www.chemspider.com/Chemical-Structure.4444765.html?rid=4bdb2e1a-ff9a-484e-8a91-4b7f87a39b3c

in both cases, the ChemSpider ID is 4444765

and that is the value which should be entered in Wikidata, and in the Chembox parameter |ChemSpiderID= (or one of:

  • |ChemSpiderID=
  • |ChemSpiderID1=
  • |ChemSpiderID2=
  • |ChemSpiderID3=
  • |ChemSpiderID4=
  • |ChemSpiderID5=
  • |ChemSpiderIDOther=

in its {{Chembox Identifiers}} module sub-template).
