The Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) is provided by The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) in the UK. It is a database of crystal structures of organic and organometallic molecules. In addition to the core functionality called CSD Systems, which includes search software, the system consists of CSD-Materials for materials science and CSD-Discovery for biotechnology, all of which are distributed as CSD-Enterprise for academics. Kyoto University has purchased campus licences for at least the Yoshida and Uji campuses, so researchers wishing to use the database on those campuses should contact the following. (Please replace [at] with @ in the e-mail address.)
- Yoshida campus: Kitagawa Group in iCeMS, KUIAS, kitagawa-g [at] icems.kyoto-u.ac.jp (The costs are divided proportionally between the laboratories used each year.)
- Uji campus: SuperComputer System, Institute for Chemical Research, spradm [at] scl.kyoto-u.ac.jp
