Synopsis
The Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) contains a wealth of information that can be used to derive new knowledge. You can use this resource to extract invaluable insights from the over one million crystal structures, informing and accelerating your research and development.
In this hands-on workshop, we will explore how you can search effectively the CSD and present to you tips and tricks for visualization and analysis with our software Mercury. We will then introduce you to functionality from the CSD Portfolio to help you perform sophisticated analysis of molecular geometry, intermolecular interactions, and structural arrangements. You will learn more about solid state analysis and about how you can leverage the wealth of data in the CSD to provide insight into structural features. 
This will be a hands-on interactive session with presentations, demonstrations and you will get the opportunity to use the software with hands-on exercises. Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops and a temporary licence for the CSD package will be provided if necessary.
