Software, Cambridge Structural Database statistical

Another recent database, still in evolution, is the Linus Pauling File (covering both metals and other inorganics) and, like the Cambridge Crystallographic Database, it has a "smart software part which allows derivative information, such as the statistical distribution of structures between symmetry types, to be obtained. Such uses are described in an article about the file (Villars et al. 1998). The Linus Pauling File incorporates other data besides crystal structures, such as melting temperature, and this feature allows numerous correlations to be displayed.
