2023 Virtual Workshop: Exploring and Leveraging Metal-Organic Structures for Multiple Applications
Thursday, 27th April 2023
10 am BST (London, Lisbon)/ 11 am CEST (Madrid, Budapest)/ 5 pm CST (China, Macau, Taiwan)
This free 90-minute hands-on workshop will show you how to search, visualize, and analyse metal-organic structures, including organometallics and MOFs.
Metal-organic structures have a variety of applications, including designing new energetic or magnetic materials, new catalysts, porous frameworks for gas storage, and drugs.
Workshop Content
In this workshop, you will explore more advanced tips and tricks to search and analyse metal-organic structures by:
- Learning more advanced searching options in ConQuest and WebCSD.
- Using subsets in ConQuest.
- Exporting and analysing hitlists in Mercury.
The workshop will focus on metal-organic structures, including organometallics and MOFs, but is open to scientists interested in other structures in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD).
Who Should Attend?
- Research scientists concerned with metal-organics structures and the design of new materials.
- PhD and post-doc researchers interested in catalysis and gas storage and separation.
- Researchers who wish to learn more tips and tricks for searching and analysing structures in the CSD using the CSD software.
Software Requirements
This is an interactive workshop. You will need access to the CSD Software with a CSD-Core or CSD-Enterprise licence. Full academic licences include the software we use in this workshop.
If you do not have access to the CSD data and software, we can provide you with a temporary licence. When you register below, please check "No" to the question: "Do you or your institution have a current full CSD licence?" and we'll get you set up.
Entry Requirements
This workshop is open to anyone who wants to learn more about searching, visualizing and analysing metal-organic structures using the CSD software. Basic knowledge of Mercury and ConQuest would be ideal. If you have not used the software before, consider reviewing our CSDU module on visualization with Mercury and our self-guided workshop on searching before the event.
