Repository of chemical data focusing on biological activities of small molecules. Find physical, biological, and chemical properties, and relationships to health and disease.
CSD is the world’s leading repository of small organic and metal-organic crystal structures with over 500,000 x-ray and neutron diffraction analyses.
USC subscribes both to the online web version and desktop version for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. The majority of users will be best served by using the web version of CSD, but if your research requires an offline, desktop version of CSD, please contact the Chemistry Librarian, Jane Lah - jlah@usc.edu, for more information.
ICSD is the world's largest inorganic crystal database with over 169,000 entries dating back to 1913.
Legacy structures determined by the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) have also been added. Full access at USC is provided via the web interface. All completely identified structures peer-reviewed for quality and accuracy. New structures are being added daily.
