Calculations
:Chemical property predictions for any
molecule
A molecule is a group of two or more atoms held together by attractive forces known as chemical bonds; depending on context, the term may or may not include ions which satisfy this criterion. In quantum physics, organic chemistry, and bioch ...

In computing, a database is an organized collection of data stored and accessed electronically. Small databases can be stored on a file system, while large databases are hosted on computer clusters or cloud storage. The design of databases sp ...
to find web page sources and associated structures of the results.
Compliance Checker
:Checking compounds with respect to national regulations of several countries on narcotics, psychotropic drugs, explosives, hazardous materials, and toxic agents.
Short history
January 2009 ''Original service launched''
:The service was launched with the brand name chemicalize.org. The main purpose was to identify chemical names on websites, but other services were also provided, such as property predictions and chemical search.
August 2010 ''ChemSpider integration''
:Predicted chemical properties provided by Chemicalize were integrated to
ChemSpider
ChemSpider is a database of chemicals. ChemSpider is owned by the Royal Society of Chemistry.
Database
The database contains information on more than 100 million molecules from over 270 data sources including:
* EPA DSSTox
* U.S. Food and Dr ...
. ChemSpider record pages contain links to access predicted properties on Chemicalize for the considered structure.
September 2016 ''Renewed version''
:The platform was renewed using a new brand name Chemicalize.
The new version offers enriched functionality in freemium model.
May 2018 ''Chemicalize Professional released''
:Embeddable web components and hosted cheminformatics services, for web developers and integrators, based on Chemicalize cloud infrastructure.
