Composition and structure

StructMatcher

Compare crystal structures, remove duplicates, cross-reference known libraries, and identify novel CIF candidates. The workflow is designed for generated structures, relaxed candidates, and screening against reference databases.

ModesPair, dedup, cross-reference, novel, cluster
InputsCIF files, ZIP archives, or tar.gz archives
OutputsCSV report, HTML report, representative CIFs, novel CIF ZIP

What it is useful for

Use StructMatcher to detect whether two CIFs are structurally identical, cluster duplicate generated materials, compare candidate structures with a reference set, and download unmatched structures for the next screening step.
