Cambridge Structural Database (WebCSD)

Abstract

Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) is a chemistry resource compiled and distributed by the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC). CSD contains a highly-detailed and complete record of all published organic and metal-organic small-molecule crystal structures. CSD is considered the authoritative source for finding and sharing structural chemistry data (Groom et al. 2016). WebCSD, the online implementation of CSD, is freely available on the internet, although a subscription and individual account is required for advanced searching. The CSD Software System, which includes ConQuest, IsoStar, Mercury, PreQuest, Mogul, and Python API, is available for annual subscription.
