Inorganic Crystal Structure Database
ICSD is a database of inorganic and related structures. It is produced
cooperatively by FIZ Karlsruhe and the National Institute of Standards
and Technology (NIST).
The ICSD is searchable via two different web
browser interfaces (CrystalWeb and ICSD-WWW).
The ICSD database contains over 140,00 structures and is updated twice a year.
For up to date details on ICSD contents and details of related

ICSD is available via its own web interface (see below) which was
introduced by Alan Hewat at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) in
Grenoble, France. It is also accessible using CrystalWeb and CrystalWorks.
