Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD) is a chemical database founded in 1978 by
Günter Bergerhoff (University of Bonn) and
I. D. Brown (University of McMaster, Canada). It is now produced by
FIZ Karlsruhe in Europe and the U.S.
National Institute of Standards and Technology. It seeks to contain information on all inorganic
crystal structures published since 1913, including pure
elements,
minerals,
metals, and
intermetallic compounds (with atomic coordinates).
ICSD contains over 210,000 entries and is updated twice a year.
A
Windows-based
PC version has been developed in co-operation with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and a PHP-MySQL web based version in co-operation with the
Institut Laue–Langevin (ILL) Grenoble.
