Dear all,
We are trying to solve a powder crystal structure containing Praseodymium ( At. No. 59) as heavy atom. We have index the powder pattern by using the programme TREOR and DICVOL . Both gives the same results with a very figure of merits ( 23, 45). We have got the Pr co-ordinat

I fear you will have to go but you can buy yourself out with a lifelong ICSD

Depends. If you are going to make your fortune from it and retire to the
south of France on the proceeds, then yes, certainly ! In that case, you
had better read the fine print on

Thank you for this interesting discussion. Does this also apply to the ICSD

I have to agree with Vincent that I find aspects of CCDC's apparent
actions troubling and warrant discussion even if all parties reach a
happy agreement behind closed doors. If the CCDC claims partial
ownership of everything derived from their database then how far does
that go? Can they preven

OK, I have contacted the CCDC for a statement, and they tell me that this is an issue
that is being discussed between the interested parties, th
What a fine debate Armel and Alan have given to us!
I can agree with Alan's point that the CCDC would want a slice of the
money that Crystal Impact would receive. But Crystal Impact's statements
didn't mention fiduciary gain being an issue. I don't know if they
accurately describe the situati

Well. an American wrote that :-) You and I would be more modest Armel :-)
