Old notices
These pages collect together notices posted on the IUCr web site in past years. They are retained for archival interest, but there is no guarantee (or likelihood) that many of the web links found in these notices will still be active.
Announcement: CSD X-Press provides early access to newly published structures The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) is pleased to offer WebCSD users early access to newly published structures, processed automatically using our specialist in-house software. Our specially developed software attempts to determine the correct connectivity, resolve any structural disorder, generate a compound name, 2D diagram and extract additional textual information contained in the deposited CIF, automatically creating a CSD X-Press entry. The entries are flagged in WebCSD as 'Structure Pending' and each structure has an associated reliability score, indicating the confidence level of the automatic processing. New structures will be added to CSD X-Press on a continual basis as they are published or deposited as Private Communications and will evolve into full CSD entries following scientific editing. These editorial procedures will continue to ensure that structures are checked and validated by expert chemists and crystallographers, and further enriched with valuable chemical data.
