Searching the crystallographic structure databases in support of targets for chemistry CURE projects
Presenter(s)
Megan Gerlach
Abstract
We used Conquest to search the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) for chemical structures related to ongoing Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) projects in the chemistry curriculum and the "Crystal Project" in CHEM 451 - Advanced Inorganic Chemistry II as well as CURE projects in CHEM 213 Principles of Chemistry II. Our goal was to verify if the target structures had already been reported or published as crystal structures. Additionally, we reviewed the Crystallography Open Database (COD) to ensure thoroughness. This search effort helps CURE projects by confirming that there are no previously reported structures, enabling students to hopefully pursue new crystal reports and publications.
