Open Melting Point Data
In February 2011 Alfa Aesar released over 10,000 melting points of compounds from their catalog as Open Data. This data has been curated and is freely available for download. This data has been used to create a random forest model for melting point prediction which is now available as a free to use webservice. Highly curated and open melting point data is also available from Nature Precedings.
