Inorganic Chemistry Lab

Introduction

The Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) is a highly curated repository of small molecule crystal structures. Contains over 1.1 million 3D structures with data from X-ray and neutron diffraction analyses and additional curation from the Cambridge Crystallography Data Centre.

Metal-Organic Crystal Structures include:

  • Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs)
  • Models for new catalysts
  • Porous frameworks for gas storage
  • Fundamental chemical bonding
