Search Enhancement: Search by Molecular Formula

Searching in CAS SciFinder has been enhanced with expanded support for searching substances by molecular formula. Molecular formula search support will be available for Substances, Suppliers, and Reactions.

Similar to searching by molecular formula in Substance Advanced Search, Hill reordering is applied to queries. Please note that wildcards are not supported for searching by molecular formula in the main search bar.
