ICSD now contains 150,042 crystal structures
20. April 2012
The ICSD database now contains 150,042 crystal structures, including 129,210 fully determined crystal structures with atom coordinates obtained from experimental data and 20,832 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 7,962 new entries were added, 4,399 entries were modified and 99 entries were removed. The work on structure types has been expanded to the newly added and modified data. More than 113,000 ICSD entries have now been assigned to more than 6,300 distinct structure types.
