CSDsICSDs
CSDs and ICSDs refer to two major crystallographic databases that store three-dimensional structural data for molecules and materials. The Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) and the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD) are widely used resources in chemistry, materials science, and related fields, each focusing on different classes of compounds.
The Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) is maintained by the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC). It primarily
The Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD) concentrates on inorganic crystals, including minerals and inorganic compounds with
Both databases emphasize data quality and provenance, offering validation, deposition records, and links to primary literature.
