Cambridge Structural Database
Description
This is a use copy of the Cambridge Structural Database is a collection of small-molecule organic and organometallic crystal structures determined by X-ray and neutron diffraction techniques.
The Comprehensive Repository of Validated and Curated Small Molecule Organic and Metal-organic Crystal Structures
Established in 1965 with historical structures dating back to the 1920s, the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) is the largest curated crystal structure database, containing over 1.3M accurate 3D structures with data from X-ray and neutron diffraction analyses. The database is used by researchers across the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemicals industries to predict and guide future discoveries.
All electronically deposited structures have their own DOI which helps for FAIR principles of interoperability and re-use of data.
