How can I share a structure I have deposited?

Modified on Thu, 22 May at 11:38 PM

All structures deposited at the CCDC remain confidential until the point of publication. If you would like to share an unpublished structure with your co-workers without releasing the data publicly, you can do this through our My Structures service. To do so, sign in (or register) at:

https://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/deposit/mystructures

Once signed in, you can select the datasets you wish to share and click the 'Share Structures' button near the top right of the My Structures view. This will open a pop-up that allows you to:

  • Share the data with either ‘Read Only’ or ‘Full Editing’ rights.
  • Choose whether to allow or prevent further sharing of the dataset by the recipient.
  • Apply these options to each dataset individually.


You will then need to enter the recipient’s email address. To view shared structures in your My Structures table, select the ‘Structures shared with me’ option.

For more information on using My Structures, please see this link.
