Abstract

There is a long history of chemical crystallography and use of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) in Croatia, which dates back to 1985 when the CSD first became accessible there thanks to the efforts of Biserka Kojić-Prodić as head of the National Affiliated Centre. On the occasion of Dr Kojić-Prodić’s 80th birthday we take the opportunity to look back at the history of crystallography in Croatia, and particularly in Biserka’s career, from the point of view of the CSD. Biserka has been a prolific author and contributor of crystal structures over the years sharing over 400 structures and collaborating with over 270 different co-authors on a wide range of different types of structure.
