Cambridge Structure Database (CSD)

A fee-charging structure database of organic materials crystal structures. Three-dimensional structure data of small molecules and metal-organic crystals determined by the X-ray diffraction measurement can be downloaded. The data are compiled and distributed by the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC).
