The histograms below show the growth of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) since 1970, and the predicted growth during the decade 2001-2010.
Statistics have been generated from the CSD of 1 January 2009.
With a first reference published in 1923, the CSD is an almost inexhaustible source of statistics on small-molecule
crystallography.
