ICSD now contains 140,116 crystal structures
07. Juni 2011
The ICSD database now contains 140,116 crystal structures, including 123,923 fully determined crystal structures with atom coordinates obtained from experimental data and 16,193 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 4,652 new entries were added, 2,423 entries were modified and 4 entries were removed. The work on structure types has been expanded to the newly added and modified data. Thanks to the work by Professor Allmann, more than 105,000 ICSD entries have now been assigned to more than 6,200 distinct structure types.
