The Merck Index is an encyclopedia of chemicals, drugs and biologicals with over 10,000 monograph on single substances or groups of related compounds^[1] published online by the Royal Society of Chemistry.^[2]

History[edit]

The first edition of the Merck's Index was published in 1889 by the German chemical company Emanuel Merck and was primarily used as a sales catalog for Merck's growing list of chemicals it sold.^[2] The American subsidiary was established two years later and continued to publish it. During World War I the US government seized Merck's US operations and made it a separate American 'Merck' company that continued to publish the Merck Index.

In 2012 the Merck Index was licensed to the Royal Society of Chemistry.^[3] An online version of The Merck Index, including historic records and new updates not in the print edition,^[1] is commonly available through research libraries. It also includes an appendix with monographs on organic named reactions.
