CCDC

CCDC stands for the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre, an organization that collects, curates, and distributes detailed 3D structural data of organic and inorganic compounds determined through techniques like X-ray crystallography. This data helps scientists understand the precise arrangements of atoms in a material, facilitating research in chemistry, materials science, and drug development. The CCDC maintains a comprehensive database called the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD), which researchers worldwide access to find structural information, compare compounds, and support the design of new materials or medicines.
