Pearson's Crystal Data: Release 2009/10

A new release 2009/10 of Pearson's Crystal Data (PCD), the well-known crystal structure database for inorganic compounds, has just become available. The new release contains more than 180,000 entries describing more than 100,000 different phases. Besides this, the database provides roughly 14,000 experimental and about 167,000 calculated diffraction patterns. It achieves an ICSD coverage of more than 95 percent!

As usual, the PCD database comes with an innovative retrieval software for Windows PCs developed by Crystal Impact. It offers a large variety of elaborate new features which make retrieval of the desired information extremely easy and comfortable, with "perpetual restrainting" still being our personal favourite.

Customers who are already using PCD can find prices for the update (which is optional - not mandatory) to the new release here.
