The Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) has been curated since 1965 from the published literature, direct deposition, and sources such as patents and PhD theses. It is a database of small-molecule organic and metal-organic crystal structure data. The CSD also comprises software for database access, structure visualization and data analysis, and structural knowledge bases derived from the CSD.
Additional Information:
The CSD database can be installed on computers on the Bloomington campus. Please contact the Sciences Library for details.
In addition to the CSD client version, a web version (WebCSD) is also available. WebCSD offers a limited version of information found in the CSD database. For full access the CSD system must be downloaded.
The Sciences Library also provides access to the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database. This is the inorganic counterpart to the Cambridge Structural Database. Please contact the Sciences Library for access information or a copy of the database to use on computers on the Bloomington campus.
