Inorganic Crystal Structure Database
This article will address Inorganic Crystal Structure Database, a topic of great relevance today that has generated a wide debate in different areas. Inorganic Crystal Structure Database is a complex topic that has attracted the attention of experts, scholars and even the general public, due to its impact on society. Along these lines, Inorganic Crystal Structure Database will be analyzed in detail, exploring its different facets, its evolution over time and the implications it has on people's lives. In addition, different points of view regarding Inorganic Crystal Structure Database will be reviewed, in order to offer a comprehensive view of this topic and encourage an enriching debate.
Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD) is a chemical database founded in 1978 by Günter Bergerhoff at the University of Bonn in Germany and I. D. Brown at McMaster University in Canada.[1][2] 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).[3] ICSD contains over 318,000 entries as of August 2025 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.
