Web Access to Cambridge Structural Database (webCSD)

The Cambridge Structural Database (CSD), maintained by the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC), is the world's largest curated collection of experimentally determined crystal structures, containing more than 1.3 million 3D structures derived from X ray, neutron, and electron diffraction studies. It is widely used across research and industry to support structure prediction, materials design, and data driven discovery. Through PSDI, authenticated users from the UK academic community can search the CSD using the dedicated webCSD service interface.
