Materials Science and Engineering

This approach builds bridges between chemistry, biology, and engineering by scaling up precise nanoscale methods from the lab to the industrial manufacturing scale.

It continues to serve as a non-profit advisory body to the public at large.

The CSD contains X-ray and neutron diffraction analyses of carbon-containing molecules having up to 1000 atoms (including hydrogens):

* Organics
* Compounds of the main group elements
* Organometallics
* Metal complexes

The CSD covers peptides of up to 24 residues; higher oligomers are covered by the Protein Data Bank.

The CSD covers mono-, di- and tri-nucleotides; higher oligomers are covered by the Nucleic Acids Database.

There is a small overlap between the CSD and the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD) in the area of molecular inorganics. Information on other metal-containing structures can also be found in the Metals and Alloys Crystallographic Database (CRYSTMET).

This is the inorganic counterpart of the Cambridge Structural Database (Bergerhoff, Hundt, Sievers and Brown, J.Chem.Inf.Comput.Sci., 23, 66, 1983). The ICSD is produced by FIZ Karlsruhe, D-7514 Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen, Germany, in conjunction with the National Institute of Standards and Technology, U.S.A.

The six spectra are as follows, an electron impact Mass spectrum (EI-MS), a Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FT-IR), a 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrum, a 13C NMR spectrum, a laser Raman spectrum, and an electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrum.

The data for each pattern are presented in the form of tables of characteristic interplanar spacings and the corresponding relative intensities. Miller indices and other supplemental data, such as crystal system, density, or cell information, are also included when known.

To reference this website in a publication, we suggest something like:
Ch. Baerlocher and L.B. McCusker, Database of Zeolite Structures: http://www.iza-structure.org/databases/

Resulting from a critical evaluation of the published literature, the database contains over 22,000 line positions, chemical shifts, doublet splittings, and energy separations of photoelectron and Auger-electron lines.
