Search, Visualize, and Analyse Known Small Molecules
CSD-Core
Search, visualize and analyse known small-molecule organic and metal-organic crystal structure data with the CSD-Core software suite.
CSD-Core provides full access to the >1.3 million structures within the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD), as well as a range of tools with essential search, visualization and analysis features. Knowledge from the CSD is therefore delivered with powerful 2D/3D searching, extensive geometry analysis tools, intermolecular interaction analysis, high impact graphics and connectivity via the CSD Python API.
One-click generation of high-quality structure representations are available for effective scientific communication including POV-Ray graphics rendering, videos and even 3D printing.
Who can benefit from using CSD-Core:
- Structural chemists wanting to use big-data learnings from the world’s largest database of small-molecule crystal structure data.
- Medicinal chemists or molecular modellers looking to learn about intermolecular contacts for use in structure-based drug design.
- Engineers and material scientists researching MOFs.
- Chemists looking to perform rational design of catalytic molecules based on their 3D structure.
- Researchers interested in structure-property relationships of molecular materials with interesting optical, magnetic, and electronic properties.
