In this sense, CCDC is a truly a unique database and softwares such as ConQuest and Mercury have not only been linchpins of my design process but also a constant source of inspiration for years.

CCDC software enables scientists to work with the CSD structural data to extract new insights. This includes public and proprietary, experimental and predicted data.

The world’s largest database of small-molecule organic and metal-organic crystal structure data, the CSD is managed by the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC).

Data can be deposited with the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) who curate the CSD and FIZ Karlsruhe who curate the ICSD via our joint web-based CIF deposition and validation service.

The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) is a global leader in structural chemistry data, software, and knowledge for materials and life sciences research and development.

This can be performed for free using the included CCDC Activator tool and selecting the CSD-Community option. You can also activate with a CSD-Core licence if you have one.

The CCDC is an active, independent research centre. We are a partner institute of the University of Cambridge but retain research independence.

The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) are world-leading experts in structural chemistry data, software, and knowledge for materials and life sciences research and development.
