The development and use of a crystallographic database

Carl Henrik Görbitz. Acta Crystallogr B Struct Sci Cryst Eng Mater. 2016 Apr.

Abstract

To scientists working with small-molecule or organometallic compounds, the Cambridge Structural Database constitutes an extremely important tool for reference to individual crystal structures and as a data source for statistical investigations. The article by Groom et al. [(2016), Acta Cryst. B72, 171-179] provides updated information on the use, development and future of this database.

Keywords: CIF archive; Cambridge Structural Database; crystal structure database; open data.
