search_structures

Active

declared in 0.1.0

Search the Crystallography Open Database (COD), an open repository of crystal structures (inorganic, organic, metal-organic, and mineral). Search by compound name (free text), chemical formula, or mineral name; returns matching crystal structures with unit-cell parameters, space group, year, and a link to the CIF structure file. Keyless. Provide at least one of query, formula, or mineral.
