Cambridge Structural Database (CSD), from the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) is the world's largest repository, for small-molecule organic and metal-organic crystal structures, with more than 1.3 million curated entries from x-ray and neutron diffraction analyses. Along with data about the crystal structure, each entry includes chemical/physical property data and associated journal article references.
UC San Diego faculty, staff and students can access CSD two ways:

Online access to the Cambridge Structural Database, if you just want to search substances and view the associated crystallographic, chemical, or bibliographic information for each. The basic search interface, "Access Structures," is freely available However, our licensed access to WebCSD allows you to 1) search by structure, unit cell, or molecular formula, and 2) see all of the crystallographic data provided. You either need to run VPN (you'll see licensed to UCSD in the upper right) or create an account and then connect our license to your profile.
