These are the primary resources we have for crystallographic data. Consult our crystallography research guide for more information about these and other crystallography resources, including visualization tools.
Database | Content | Notes |
---|---|---|
Cambridge Structural Database [information] | 1 million entries: small-molecule organic and metal-organic crystal structures. Each entry includes crystal structure information, chemical/physical property data and associated journal article reference. | Two options available: a web-based interface to CSD (WebCSD), and a downloadable suite of databases that includes CSD (CSD-Enterprise). |
Inorganic Crystal Structure Database | 200,000 inorganic crystal structures, with associated crystallographic information, property data, and journal article reference. | |
Powder Diffraction File - PDF-4+ [information] | 461,000+ entries of inorganic diffraction data from crystals and powders. | Please contact tmvogel@ucsd.edu for information on accessing PDF-4+ |
Landolt-Börnstein / SpringerMaterials [information] | Large collection of property data that includes some volumes of crystallographic data. | SpringerMaterials is free to search, but we don't have a license for the database. We have the pre-2010 Landolt content online in Portico. See the Landolt/Portico handout for instructions.
