Databases
& Licensing
(if you don't see a menu on the left, use this link)
Since
the middle
of the 1980's and up to 2012, the CSIC, through
the Department of
Crystallography and Structural Biology, offered
a free-of-charge licensing service for
some of the most important structural databases in
Crystallography, covering most academic institutions in Spain and in
most Latin-American countries. However, due
to some important funding
restrictions in Spain, these general licensing programs had to be
stopped. For further
information, please contact Lourdes Infantes San
Mateo.
The Department
of
Crystallography and Structural Biology,
and all users thank CSIC for its financial support during all
these
years, as well as the databases suppliers, some years ago Tothcanada (supplier for
Crystmet)
and the Fach
Informationszentrum-Karlsruhe. But our thanks go especially
to the Cambridge Crystallographic
Data Centre (and all the people involved therein) for their
kindness and funding effort. We also thank all the users and
Institutions in Spain and
in Latin-American countries (over 130 institutions) for their
understanding. This link shows the
latest situation of licensed Institutions before this
decission was taken.
Since 2013, CSIC
still maintains a
different, although smaller, licensing program,
covering most of the following crystallographic databases:
CRYSTMET metals and intermetallic
compounds
CSIC
has canceled the CRYSTMET license!
ICSD inorganic compounds
We
maintain a license for CSIC
only. Institutional
users having no access to ICSD should contact Lourdes
Infantes San
Mateo.
CSIC members may access this
database using institutional IP
addresses (of type 161.111.xxx.xxx) through the following link:
ICSD for CSIC users.
CSD organic and
organometallic
compounds
Spanish
academic and institutional users having no access
to CSD should contact
Lourdes
Infantes San
Mateo.
