In silico assisted rational solid form design helps to reduce experimental costs and improve material performance. Accessing and interrogating the wealth of data in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) is integral to this as it enables scientists to design and assess the stability of solid forms during early stages of the development process.
In these free virtual workshops, you will learn how to search motifs, crystal packing features and crystal packing similarity using Mercury, to design and assess stability of solid form materials.
We will cover:
- Overview of the tools available in the CSD-Materials suite, focusing on tools for:
Requirements
Familiarity with visualizing structures in Mercury would be helpful. If you have not used Mercury before try our CSDU module on our website.
The CSD Software installed and an active CSD-Materials (or above*) license. (*CSD-Materials, or CSD-Enterprise. All academic licenses include the functionality we use in this workshop.) A temporary licence is available to cover the workshop, please state if you do not have a licence when registering.
The workshops will be recorded and all registered participants will have access to the recording.
Note: This session will be run identically on two dates, to cover more time zones: 10th May 2022 at 09:30 (BST) and 12th May 2022 at 21:30 (BST). To register for the session on 12th May go back to the main page.
