CCDC - The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre
Research Services
World leading provider of structural chemistry data for life science and materials science research and application
About us
We are a global leader in structural chemistry data, software, and knowledge for materials and life sciences research and development. Specializing in the collation, preservation, and application of scientific structural data, we offer the renowned Cambridge Structural Database (CSD), a trusted resource containing fully curated organic and metal-organic structures utilized by researchers worldwide. In addition to providing essential data services, we are committed to inspiring the next generation of scientists through educational outreach and programs including PhD sponsorships. As a non-profit organization, we empower scientists from diverse backgrounds to achieve their research goals through initiatives like the FAIRE Access Programme. With a vision to inspire structural science and contribute to a better world, our strategic priorities focus on advancing data accessibility, driving scientific impact, fostering professional development, and delivering value to stakeholders across the globe. We strive to provide a unified, connected data experience through a FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) inspired platform where users can easily interrogate all structural and property information in the expanding data universe. Data reimagined, together.

The CSD-Materials suite now includes a CSD Python API feature based on the FIDEL method, known as AutoFIDEL, that matches and optimizes crystal structures against experimental powder diffraction patterns, without requiring high-resolution transmission data and with preferred orientation. During this webinar, we will show you: ✔️What is AutoFIDEL and how to access it; ✔️The process of powder matching and optimization of crystal structures; ✔️Live demonstration of the process. 📆 Thursday, 23rd January 2025 ⏰ 16:00 PM (GMT) / 11:00 AM (ET) 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e5GG_zkF #ComputationalChemistry #MaterialsScience #DataScience

Free Mercury can teach and demonstrate chemistry concepts including chirality, bond distances, centroids, and planes. There were over 3,200 downloads of our educational materials last year - all part of our non-profit mission to advance structural science, including through education. https://lnkd.in/eNAcamzc #teachchem #chemistry #education #STEM
