Conventional and Eccentric Uses of Crystallographic Databases in Practical Materials Identification Problems.
The crystallographic databases are powerful and cost-effective tools for solving materials identification problems, both individually and in combination. Examples of the conventional and unconventional use of the databases in solving practical problems involving organic, coordination, and inorganic compounds are provided. The creation and use of fully-relational versions of the Powder Diffraction File and NIST Crystal Data are described.
