Abstract: Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) is a chemistry resource compiled and distributed by the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC).CSD contains a highly-detailed and complete record of all published organic and metal-organic small-molecule crystal structures.CSD is considered the authoritative source for finding and sharing structural chemistry data (Groom et al. 2016).WebCSD, the online implementation of CSD, is freely available on the internet, although a subscription and individual account is required for advanced searching.The CSD Software System, which includes ConQuest, IsoStar, Mercury, PreQuest, Mogul, and Python API, is available for annual subscription.CCDC is a non-profit charitable organization started in 1965 by the Organic Chemistry Department at the University of Cambridge (Groom & Allen 2014).CSD is a vast repository for experimentally-determined small-molecule crystallography data and structures.The database is continually updated with new structures visible in the database within moments of user deposition.CSD contains a complete record of all published organic and metal-organic smallmolecule crystal structures.As of this writing, the database contains over 970,000 entries.
