CCDC Tools

Having said all this, we would like to alert the reader to the fact that the CCDC, is not a simply a body devoted to the permanent storage of crystallographic data but also very much an active research organisation, both in the analysis of structural data and in the development of new research and search tools for the CSD. Thus, for example, it is likely that we in the future will see search tools that can automatically recognise such features as nets, dimensionality and interpenetration. CCDC also have some more recent products called knowledge bases , IsoStar and Mogul, that may be quite useful as well.
