ConQuest is the primary program for searching and retrieving information from the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD). ConQuest provides a full range of text/numeric database search options, in addition to more complex search functionality including: Chemical substructure searching, geometrical searching and intermolecular and non-bonded contact searching.

The data base is normally used to get the crystal structures we would like to study computationally, or compare with our results.

You can have access to it by:

• Connecting to apolo.iciq.es, and typing "cq". If you need to use Apolo ask Martin and your supervisor if it is possible to create you an account there.

• Through a Windows ConQuest interface. This interface is in the list of ICIQ PC Software.
