Crystallography Open Database – an open-access collection of crystal structures

چکیده
The Crystallography Open Database (COD), which is a project that aims to gather all available inorganic, metal-organic and small organic molecule structural data in one database, is described. The database adopts an open-access model. The COD currently contains ∼80 000 entries in crystallographic information file format, with nearly full coverage of the International Union of Crystallography publications, and is growing in size and quality.

Crystallography Open Database (COD): an open-access collection of crystal structures and platform for world-wide collaboration
Using an open-access distribution model, the Crystallography Open Database (COD, http://www.crystallography.net) collects all known 'small molecule / small to medium sized unit cell' crystal structures and makes them available freely on the Internet. As of today, the COD has aggregated ~150,000 structures, offering basic search capabilities and the possibility to download the whole database, or...
متن کاملProgrammatic conversion of crystal structures into 3D printable files using Jmol
BACKGROUND Three-dimensional (3D) printed crystal structures are useful for chemistry teaching and research. Current manual methods of converting crystal structures into 3D printable files are time-consuming and tedious. To overcome this limitation, we developed a programmatic method that allows for facile conversion of thousands of crystal structures directly into 3D printable files. RESULTS...

We present an organic materials database (OMDB) hosting thousands of Kohn-Sham electronic band structures, which is freely accessible online at http://omdb.diracmaterials.org. The OMDB focus lies on electronic structure, density of states and other properties for purely organic and organometallic compounds that are known to date. The electronic band structures are calculated using density funct...
متن کاملCrystallographic education in the 21st century
There are many methods that can be used to incorporate concepts of crystallography into the learning experiences of students, whether they are in elementary school, at university or part of the public at large. It is not always critical that those who teach crystallography have immediate access to diffraction equipment to be able to introduce the concepts of symmetry, packing or molecular struc...

While the structural study of biomaterials recently seems to be attracting increasing attention in crystallographic effort, mineralogy formed a foundation for modern crystallography and there are still many open important questions in this field. Highlights in Mineralogical Crystallography was written to describe some of these hot topics. To broaden the field of vision of the book, it was writt...
