  1. Our approach to the FAIR Data Principles

    Sophie Bryant – Tue, 28 Sep 2021 16:57:00 GMT

    The FAIR Data Principles stand for findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability of data for both humans and machines. Here we highlight a few ways CCDC supports the FAIR Data Principles.

  2. Understanding solid form stability with Hydrogen Bond Statistics

    Ioana Sovago – Thu, 23 Sep 2021 14:15:00 GMT

    We’re pleased to present a new structural analysis tool in our latest release: Hydrogen Bond Statistics. Used in combination with the other solid form risk assessment tools in CSD-Materials, this allows you to understand how different characteristics influence stability in your solid-state material. Here we explain how Hydrogen Bond Statistics works.

  4. CSD in Action: achieving the largest possible mobility of organic semiconductors

    Ioana Sovago – Fri, 17 Sep 2021 19:17:00 GMT

    Here we highlight a paper by researchers at the University of Liverpool and Università di Siena who used the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) to identify a set of promising compounds for use in semiconductors and a new tool for discovering materials with electronic properties. This is part of our series highlighting examples of​​ the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) tools in action by scientists around the world.

  7. Why do aromatic interactions matter?

    Ioana Sovago – Fri, 03 Sep 2021 16:27:00 GMT

    In our 2020.1 CSD Release, we launched the Aromatics Analyser – our first feature in Mercury based on a Neural Network that leverages deep learning. The tool allows you to quantitatively assess aromatic ring interactions and their likely contribution to the stability of a crystal structure. In this blog, let’s explore why it’s so important to understand aromatic interactions using ibuprofen and benzoic acids as examples.
