Handbook of Inorganic Substances (handbook / e-book, approx. 1654 p.)
De Gruyter, Berlin, Germany
2012-... (yearly updates)
Editors: P. Villars, K. Cenzual, R. Gladyshevskii
The aim of the handbook is to provide researchers and students with a comprehensive compilation of crystallographically identified inorganic substances within one volume. The second release offers an overview of more than 100'000 different inorganic substances. Each substance is represented by a single row containing the chemical system in alphabetic order, chemical formula (and specification), structure prototype (Pearson symbol, space group number), Hermann-Mauguin symbol for the space group, standardized cell parameters, mineral name or structural family, color, density, a code indicating the level of structural studies, and the link to a data source listed in the Reference section.

Inorganic Substances Bibliography (handbook / e-book, 3 vols., approx. 4900 p.)
De Gruyter, Berlin, Germany
2012-... (yearly updates)
Editors: P. Villars, K. Cenzual, M. Penzo
By browsing 10'000'000 scientific publications (starting with literature year 1900) the editors of the PAULING FILE have selected some 200'000 publications containing data belonging to one of the following fundamental materials research fields: crystallographic structures (S), phase diagrams (C) and (to a less extent) the large field of intrinsic physical properties (P). The aim of the handbook is to provide researchers and students with a comprehensive compilation of scientific publications on inorganic substances. Each distinct combination chemical system - literature reference is represented by one row containing selected information: source, codes for reasearch fields, first author, title.

Section editors: K. Cenzual, J.L.C. Daams, F. Hulliger, T.B. Massalski, H. Okamoto, K. Osaki, A. Prince
Project coordinator: S. Iwata
Software development: Crystal Impact
The first off-line version of the PAULING FILE is limited to binary compounds. It contains 8'000 phase diagrams covering 2'300 binary systems, 28'300 structural data sets for more than 10'000 different phases, 3'000 experimental and 27'000 calculated diffraction patterns, and around 17'300 physical property entries. Thanks to internal links Crystal Structure, Physical Properties and Phase Diagram entries referring to the same phase can be retrieved together. The test tool Discovery for searching for hidden correlations between compound properties and elemental properties is provided with the database.

Pearson's Crystal Data (off-line product)
ASM International, Materials Park, Ohio-USA
2007-... (yearly release)
Editors: P. Villars, K. Cenzual
Software development: Crystal Impact
Pearson's Crystal Data contains crystallographic data for inorganic compounds. The sixth release (2012-2013) contains 227'145 structural data sets (including atom coordinates and displacement parameters, when determined) for about 134'000 different phases, roughly 15'800 experimental diffraction patterns and about 210'000 calculated patters. The crystallographic data are presented as published and standardized. In addition over 32'000 figure descriptions for cell parameters as a function of temperature, pressure or composition are given. The software offers numerous possibilities to retrieve and process the data. Links to the original reference, ASM Alloy Phase Diagrams Center, and SpringerMaterials are incorporated.

Powder Diffraction File PDF-4+ (off-line product)
International Centre for Diffraction Data, Pennsylvania-USA
2004-... (yearly updates)
Since 1940 ICDD provides tools in the form of experimental and calculated powder patterns for phase analysis based on diffraction methods. PDF-4+ (inorganic substances) and PDF-4/Minerals include also atom coordinates, which can be used to perform Rietveld refinements. Two thirds of the structures in the current edition of PDF-4+ come from the PAULING FILE. PAULING FILE entries, containing more data, replace duplicate reference patterns and citations from FIZ and NIST (ICSD, NCD).
