"The addition of the 1.25 millionth structure to the CSD is a great achievement for the community. Being the world’s largest database of small-molecule organic and metal-organic crystal structure data, the CSD is used in over 70 countries by scientists and crystallographers working both in academia and in pharmaceutical companies. Each of the structures deposited by scientists from around the globe is curated by our expert scientific editors prior to entry in the database. It represents a fundamental platform to access structural data, to understand how molecules behave and interact in three dimensions in the solid state, and ultimately to investigate how their structure influences their physical properties."
