ICSD now contains 156,679 crystal structures
23. October 2012
The ICSD database now contains 156,679 crystal structures, including 132,423 fully determined crystal structures with atom coordinates obtained from experimental data and 24,256 crystal structures with atom coordinates derived from the corresponding structure types. These data are part of the legacy crystal structure data on metallic and intermetallic compounds added since 2008.
During the update procedure 6,978 new entries were added, 6,218 entries were modified and 341 entries were removed. The work on structure types has been expanded to the newly added and modified data. More than 119,000 ICSD entries have now been assigned to more than 6,350 distinct structure types.
