Topics covered:

Introduction to the CSD System and the different software components that make up the package:

  1. ConQuest: a powerful desktop tool for retrieval of textual, numeric and structural data from the CSD.  Pick from a wide range of search options including 3D searching of intermolecular geometries and intramolecular contacts.  Combine queries to find molecules that satisfy a combination of search criteria.

  2. Mercury: a highly regarded desktop tool with an extensive array of options for visualising, exploring and analysing crystal structures.

  3. Solid Form Suite: available through Mercury, for no additional cost to academics, the Solid Form Suite uses knowledge from the CSD to address a range of crystal engineering issues. The tools can be used to improve effectiveness, quality and risk assessment in the development of solid formulations of drugs, agrochemicals and molecular materials.

  4. Mogul: rapidly access information on intramolecular geometry, derived from the CSD.

  5. IsoStar: quickly visualise plots displaying intermolecular interactions, taken from the CSD.

  6. WebCSD: easy and convenient online access to the CSD.
