Harness knowledge-based science
For structural chemists, the components in CSD-Core provide essential search, visualisation and analysis features to deliver knowledge from the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD). The functionality includes powerful 2D/3D search, extensive geometry analysis tools, intermolecular interaction analysis, high impact graphics and connectivity via the CSD Python API.
