Basicity Cambridge Structural Database

Molecular geometry is an easy accessible source of chemical information (The Cambridge Structure Database) and hence willingly applied for description and interpretation of chemical systems and processes [7]. According to R. Hoffmann There is no more basic enterprise in chemistry than the determination of the geometrical structure of a molecule. Such a determination, when it is well done ends all speculations as to the structure and provides us... 

Thus, a brief and necessarily selective overview of the different types of interpenetration follows. For more comprehensive reviews on interpenetration, the reader is directed elsewhere." An understanding of basic network topology is assumed again, for discussions of network topology, the reader should consult other sources," including the chapter by Ohrstrom elsewhere in this volume (see The Cambridge Structural Database System and Its Applications in Supramolecular Chemistry and Materials Design, Supramolecular Materials Chemistry). 

Structure identifier is the Cambridge Structural Database reference code. See Figure 5.16 for basic structure and axis definition for d, I, and t. 

Because basicity is strongly related to the structure of complexes. Chapters 2-6 also contain a description of the main structural features of each kind of complex studied in the book. Experimental structures of complexes were taken mostly from the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) [50] for the solid-state structures and from the MOGADOC database [49] for the gas-phase stmctures.
