Cambridge Structural Database System

The Cambridge Structural Database System (CSD System) is a specialized software tool used by scientists to access, manage, and analyze a vast collection of 3D structures of organic and metal-organic compounds determined through crystallography. It allows researchers to study molecular geometries, bonds, and spatial arrangements, aiding in the design of new materials and drugs. Essentially, it provides detailed structural data and powerful search functions, helping scientists understand how molecules are arranged in solid forms, which is essential for advancing chemistry, materials science, and related fields.
