ICSD now contains 161,030 crystal structures
15. April 2013
The ICSD database now contains 161,030 crystal structures, including 134,565 fully determined crystal structures with atom coordinates obtained from experimental data and 26,465 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 4,358 new entries were added, 3,765 entries were modified and 7 entries were removed. The work on structure types has been expanded to the newly added and modified data. More than 122,000 ICSD entries have now been assigned to more than 6,350 distinct structure types.
