ABOUT DIAMOND

What it is and does

Diamond is an MS Windows application for the exploration and drawing of crystal structures. With its high data capacity, its wide range of functions beginning with the generation of molecules reaching up to the construction of rather complicated inorganic structural frameworks, Diamond is the tool for molecular and solid state chemists as well as for surface and material scientists.

Highlights
