The Cambridge Structural Database: a quarter of a million crystal structures and rising.
The Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) now contains data for more than a quarter of a million small-molecule crystal structures. The information content of the CSD, together with methods for data acquisition, processing and validation, are summarized, with particular emphasis on the chemical information added by CSD editors. Nearly 80% of new structural data arrives electronically, mostly in C...
متن کاملResearch applications of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD).
Crystal structure data are of fundamental importance in a wide spectrum of scientific activities. This tutorial review summarises the principal application areas, so far, for the data from more than 300,000 crystal structures of small organic and metal-organic compounds that are stored in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD). Direct use of the accumulated data is valuable in establishing sta...
متن کاملCurrent Source Density (CSD) Analysis
Current Source Density analysis (CSD) is a class of methods of analysis of extracellular electric potentials recorded at multiple sites leading to estimates of current sources generating the measured potentials. It is usually applied to low-frequency part of the potential (called the Local Field Potential, LFP) and to simultaneous recordings or to recordings taken with fixed time reference to t...
متن کاملKnowledge-based approaches to crystal design{
The 365 000 crystal structures recorded so far in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) have already been used extensively in the study of intermolecular interactions and crystal packing, providing fundamental knowledge that can be applied in crystal engineering and crystal design. However, as the scientific problems posed to the CSD become more sophisticated, there is a need to develop more ...
متن کاملNew software for statistical analysis of Cambridge Structural Database data
A collection of new software tools is presented for the analysis of geometrical, chemical and crystallographic data from the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD). This software supersedes the program Vista. The new functionality is integrated into the program Mercury in order to provide statistical, charting and plotting options alongside three-dimensional structural visualization and analysis. ...
