Data preparation before submitting results

 

Useful information and files

  • Entry information and rules (only available to registered participants - please contact us if you require another copy of this document)
  • Key dates and deadlines PDF
  • CSP CIF preparation materials;
    • Submission Summary - this is the main document containing details about the accompanying files, and instructions on how to complete them.
    • CSP Dictionary - tabulated CSP CIF dictionary outlining the definitions, allowed values, units, and examples for each data field
    • Dictionary file (.dic) - a file to be used with the enCIFer program to edit CIF files -instructions are in the main document
    • CIF syntax information
    • Example files (.zip) - an example of how a completed CIF folder should look like, based on a fictional example.
    • Template files (.zip) - a folder containing templates that must be edited by participants to include in each submission.

 

Reminder: Group name identifier

Each participant group/team must have a unique group name identifier for labelling all files and folders for each Blind Test submission. The following guidance requires this identifier for various file names.

A suggested identifier for a group is the first initial and last name of the group lead. For example, for a participant group led by Jason Cole, the group identifier would be ‘JCole’.

This must be consistent throughout all the team submission files.

 

Submission 1 (now closed)

The deadline for submission 1 was 27 October 2021.

Submission 2

Lists of structures (of length 100 or 500 depending on the target compound) have been provided to all registered participants via email on 13th December 2021. Re-ranked structures must then be submitted back to the CCDC by 14th June 2022.

Please submit all files within a zipped folder. Folder name should be in the following format:

(E.g. XXVIII-2-JCole.zip)

Folder contents:

  • Either 100 or 500 CIF files (dependant on the target compound)

  • X_CSPBT7_method_summary.cif (X = group name identifier)

  • X_CSPBT7_structure_specific_data.csv (where X = group name identifier)

 

Data requirements for each material:

Please refer to the CSP CIF preparation materials for guidance on the completion of X_CSPBT7_method_summary.cif and X_CSPBT7_structure_specific_data.csv.
