TEACHING SUBSET OF THE CSD

 

A free 500-structure teaching subset of the Cambridge Structural Database is available as a download from the following URL:

 

http://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/free_services/teaching/

 

 

The subset has been specifically designed to provide a wide diversity of chemical content and includes many of the key molecules typically used to exemplify the chemical concepts taught in undergraduate courses. The subset is provided in CSD-database format and can be viewed using our free crystal structure visualisation program Mercury, see: http://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/free_services/mercury/

 

A number of the teaching exercise presented here draw exclusively from the teaching subset and thus do not require a CSDS licence, whilst others will require access to the full database and associated search tools. For further information, see TEACHING MODULES .

 

The free 500-structure subset is based upon work supported by the United States National Science Foundation under Grant No. 0725294.
