Chemistry Software: CrystalMaker

Access Chemistry Software

What is CrystalMaker?

Crystal Maker is a software package for:

  • Visualising and manipulating crystal structures

  • Calculating and analysing information obtained from X-ray diffraction

We have access to three programs: CrystalMaker, CrystalDiffract and SingleCrystal.

CrystalMaker provides sophisticated tools for building, visualising and manipulating molecular and crystal structures, including:

  • Publication-quality graphics
  • Tools to generate animations, including exporting high-quality movies to enhance presentations
  • 3D visualisation of structures

CrystalDiffract provides tools for working with powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD)

SingleCrystal provides similar tools for single-crystal X-ray and electron-diffraction datasets.
