A Million Crystal Structures: The Whole Is Greater than the Sum of Its Parts

TL;DR: The CSD's value in the design of biologically active molecules and the solid forms in which they are delivered is demonstrated and its potential in other commercially relevant areas is described, including gas storage and delivery, thin films, and (opto)electronics.

On the quality of the continuous rotation electron diffraction data for accurate atomic structure determination of inorganic compounds

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the quality of the structural models refined against the continuous rotation electron diffraction (cRED) data collected from different crystals of an oxofluoride (FeSeO3F) and a zeolite (ZSM-5).

A dual approach to study the key features of nickel (II) and copper (II) coordination complexes: Synthesis, crystal structure, optical and nonlinear properties

TL;DR: In this paper, a dual approach comprising of experimental and computational techniques was used to report synthesized and characterizations of two novel nickel (II) [Ni(L)2] (1) and copper (II] [Cu(L 2] (2) coordination complexes, which are made through the coordination of 1-(E-(2, 4-dibromophenylimino) methyl) naphthalene-2-ol (HL) ligand.

Single-crystal structure validation with the program PLATON

TL;DR: The results of a single-crystal structure determination when in CIF format can now be validated routinely by automatic procedures, and the concepts of validation and the classes of checks carried out by the program PLATON as part of the IUCr checkCIF facility are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Retrieval of Crystallographically-Derived Molecular Geometry Information

TL;DR: Validation experiments indicate that, with rare exceptions, search results afford precise and unbiased estimates of molecular geometrical preferences.
Journal ArticleDOI

X-ray analysis on the nanogram to microgram scale using porous complexes

TL;DR: A protocol for SCD analysis that does not require the crystallization of the sample is reported, which allows the direct characterization of multiple fractions and unambiguously determined the structure of a scarce marine natural product using only 5 micrograms of the compound.

The crystallographic information file (CIF) : a new standard archive file for crystallography

TL;DR: The specification of a new standard Crystallographic Information File (CIF) is described, based on the Self-Defining Text Archive and Retrieval (STAR) procedure, and the CIF Core Dictionary is presented in full.
