Description
For over 50 years, the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) has been curating the
world’s small molecule crystal structures into the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD). This
collection has grown steadily through the years and is now poised to reach 1 million structures.
Far more than just a collection of crystal structures, the data in the CSD provide the fuel that
drives scientific discovery across diverse areas of research. This presentation will focus on a
number of research projects that incorporate the software tools that harness the power of the
CSD. We will look at methods that explore the crystallographic solid form of small molecules
by elucidating intermolecular interaction networks, from hydrogen to halogen bonding, assessing
the risk of polymorphism and understanding molecular geometries.
