The Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) is a highly curated repository of small-molecule organic and metal-organic crystal structures. It is maintained by the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) and is widely used by researchers in the fields of chemistry, biology, and materials science.
History[edit | edit source]
The CSD was established in 1965 by the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre. It was one of the first databases of its kind, designed to collect and disseminate crystallographic data. Over the years, it has grown significantly and now contains over one million structures.
Content[edit | edit source]
The database includes detailed information about the three-dimensional structures of molecules, including atomic coordinates, bond lengths, angles, and other crystallographic parameters. Each entry in the CSD is derived from a peer-reviewed publication, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the data.
Applications[edit | edit source]
The CSD is an invaluable resource for researchers conducting structural analysis, drug design, and materials science research. It allows scientists to:
- Analyze molecular geometry and conformation.
- Investigate intermolecular interactions and packing.
- Perform structure-based drug design.
- Study polymorphism and crystal engineering.
Access[edit | edit source]
Access to the CSD is typically provided through institutional subscriptions, although individual researchers can also obtain access. The database is available through the CCDC's software suite, which includes tools for searching, visualizing, and analyzing crystal structures.
