Wiley, a global leader in authoritative content and research intelligence, today announced the release of additional data to its IR, Raman, LC-MS, and SmartSpectra libraries, significantly broadening compound coverage. The expansion brings Wiley's spectral database offerings to over 9.5 million high-quality spectra, delivering researchers enhanced capabilities for faster, more confident compound identification.

"These updates deliver what researchers need most: broader coverage and greater confidence in their identifications," said Graeme Whitley, senior director, Wiley Science Solutions. "By expanding our empirical collections, including updates to our renowned Sadtler IR and Raman libraries, alongside our SmartSpectra databases, we're providing quality data researchers can rely on to make critical decisions across their analytical workflows."

Subscribers automatically gain access to new data, ensuring labs always have the most current, reliable reference libraries to improve analysis, reduce errors, and increase productivity.

Summary of Updates:

Collection

Change

By combining Wiley's empirical and SmartSpectra collections, researchers now have access to over 1 million IR spectra and over 161,000 Raman spectra—including the renowned Sadtler Libraries available exclusively through KnowItAll. SmartSpectra extends researchers' reach into chemical space beyond what's available in empirical libraries alone, enabling identification of compounds that haven't yet been physically measured.

Wiley's comprehensive spectral database collections provide access to millions of high-quality spectra across a range of techniques, including IR, MS, NMR, Raman, and UV-Vis. These resources play a vital role in the interpretation, identification, verification, and classification of spectra across applications including pharmaceuticals, environmental science, forensics, materials research, and food safety.
