Crystallography Utilities : Crystallography Utilities Crystallographic file format converters
Bedlam is a generalised format converter very similar to the widely used converter program, Babel, but handles crystallographic data better.
Babel remains the package of choice to handle formats for a whole range of molecular modelling packages.
Display and Analysis packages
Rasmol - A 3D molecular structure viewer.
Mercury - The 3D molecular structure viewer designed for use with the Cambridge structural database (CSD).
VISTA – CSD package for statistical analysis of geometrical feature.
Crad - A crystal radial distribution calculation program.

In addition structural information data is being added from modelling and simulation studies
Development work is in progress based on the use the IUPAC/NIST Unique Chemical Identifier (INChI) with a pilot study based on the NCI and ACD databases.
ACD(Available Chemicals Directory)
MDL database with almost 500,000 compounds from commercial catalogues
NCI (National Cancer Institute)

Spectroscopy : Spectroscopy SpecInfo
From Chemical Concepts, contains spectral data sets
with their associated structure connection tables.
A variety of features are available within the program to
help with spectrum prediction and searching. The Spectroscopy databases are designed to aid the chemist
in structure elucidation and spectral interpretation problems.
