This page presents an overview on X-ray solid-state structures obtained from the Cambridge Crystallographic Data File. This list may not be comprehensive, but it provides an useful overview about structural properties of various natural products or derivatives therefrom.

• Terpenes

All structures were obtained from the Cambridge Crystallographic data file (CCDF), the corresponding CCDF Refcodes below provide links to 3D-structure models that can be viewed with the browser independent Jmol-Applet (www.jmol.org). Structures will open in a dragable layer on the same web-page, without the necessity to install an additional plugin. For some of the structures, the atomic coordinates are not contained in the CCDF database, links will result in "empty" structure displays. All files are raw, un-edited structure files of the corresponding solid-state structures, disordering and structural overlaps have not been edited; hydrogen atoms were not added to complete the solid-state structures.

Remark: As typically only the relative configuration of organic compounds can be established through X-ray crystal structure analysis, some of the structure files may actually represent the wrong enantiomer. To obtain the correct model geometry, right-click into the Jmol-Applet window, open a console and issue the command "invertSelected".
