Cambridge Structural Database (CSD)

Remote access to this resource requires a UBITName and password.

Established in 1965 with historical structures dating back to the 1920s, the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) now contains over 1.25M accurate 3D structures with data from X-ray and neutron diffraction analyses and additional curation from the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC). The database is used by researchers across the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemicals industries to predict and guide future discoveries.

For advanced users doing in-depth crystallographic research, CSD provides an extensive suite of downloadable software available only to UB faculty, staff, and students. Please contact Erin Rowley (epautler@buffalo.edu) for registration information.
