Das Kristallstrukturdepot

More than 25 years ago FIZ Karlsruhe started depositing crystal structure data linked to publications in German journals. At that time it was irrelevant whether the deposited structures were organic or inorganic. Today FIZ Karlsruhe is responsible for storing the structure data of inorganic compounds. Organic structure data are stored by the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Center. Nowadays many publishers inform their authors that in parallel to a publication in a scientific journal, crystal structure data should also be stored in the Crystal Structure Depot at FIZ Karlsruhe. A CSD number will be assigned to the data for later reference in the publication. The data can then be ordered from the Crystal Structure Depot at FIZ Karlsruhe.

自25年前起，FIZ Karlsruhe便开始将德国期刊发表的相关晶体结构数据存档。彼时，存档的晶体结构无论是有机还是无机，均无足轻重。如今，FIZ Karlsruhe承担了无机化合物结构数据的存储工作，而有机结构数据则由剑桥晶体学数据中心负责保管。当前，众多出版机构均告知其作者，在科学期刊发表论文的同时，亦应将晶体结构数据存入FIZ Karlsruhe的晶体结构库。为便于后续引用，将分配一个CSD编号。数据随后可从FIZ Karlsruhe的晶体结构库订购。
