Pearson's Crystal Data: Release 2008/9

The first major update of Pearson's Crystal Data (PCD), release 2008/9, has just become available. The new release contains 10% more entries than the previous one, now covering more than 90% of the ICSD. In detail, there are about 165,000 structural data sets (including atom coordinates and displacement parameters, when determined) for more than 100,000 different phases, roughly 13,000 experimental powder diffraction patterns and about 150,000 calculated patterns.

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