The Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) is the world’s repository for small-molecule organic and metal-organic crystal structures. The CSD System also comprises software for database access, structure visualisation and data analysis, and structural knowledge bases derived from the CSD. The CSD is produced by the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC).
Please contact Easton Brundage (ebrundage@luc.edu) for access to the CSD client software.
WebCSD: The CCDC also produces WebCSD, a website offering a limited version of information found in the CSD database. However, WebCSD and CSD are two completely independant systems; for full access the CSD system must be downloaded.
