Diamond v5.0.2

Diamond is a robust MS Windows application designed for the exploration and drawing of crystal and molecular structures. It integrates a multitude of functions, facilitating work with crystal structure data in both research and education, as well as for publications and presentations.

Unlike many of its competitors that only draw aesthetically pleasing images of molecular and crystal structures, Diamond offers an extensive set of functions that enable you to model any arbitrary portion of a crystal structure from basic structural parameters (cell, space group, atomic positions). With its high data capacity and wide range of functions, Diamond is an indispensable tool for molecular and solid-state chemists, as well as for surface and material scientists.

As a state-of-the-art Windows application, Diamond employs object-oriented menus, toolbars, and docking windows and panes with additional textual or tabular representations, such as data sheets and atom lists. The Multiple Document Interface (MDI) allows for the simultaneous handling of multiple documents, with each document potentially containing multiple structure parameter sets and multiple structure pictures per set.

Features:

1. Main Structure Picture View:

   • 3D graphics editable interactively with the mouse.
   • Extensive command options from the main menu or context-sensitive popup menus.

2. Data Pane:

   • Optional text pane to the right of the structure picture.
   • Displays a summary of the structure data, atom list, or a table with atomic parameters, created atoms, polyhedra, etc.
   • Comprehensive output of structure parameters and derived geometric information.

3. Powder Pattern View:

   • Located in the data pane.
   • Features a table of reflection parameters and a diffraction diagram.

4. Distances and Angles View:

   • Available in the data pane.
   • Includes a histogram along with distances and angles.

5. Thumbnails View:

   • Provides an overview of pictures created for a structure parameter set.
   • Can be arranged side-by-side or as an alternative to the picture edit view.

6. Structure List:

   • Table of structure parameter sets, useful if the document contains data for multiple structures, such as from a crystal structure database.

Additional Features:

• High Data Capacity:
  • Supports complex inorganic structural frameworks and generation of molecules.
• Advanced Modeling:
  • Allows for the easy modeling of any portion of a crystal structure from a basic set of structural parameters.
• User Interface:
  • Object-oriented menus, toolbars, and docking windows.
  • Multiple Document Interface (MDI) for handling multiple documents simultaneously.
• Flexible Viewing Options:
  • Different views that can be arranged side-by-side for comprehensive analysis.

Diamond’s extensive functionalities make it a comprehensive tool for researchers and educators alike, providing the means to not only visualize but also manipulate and analyze crystal and molecular structures with precision and ease.
