The database that your looking for is probably the  
Cambridge Structural Database (CSD).  Below is a brief description
of the Database and some people to contact for more information
on accessing it. 

Best of luck,

     The CSD contains the most comprehensive collection of evaluated
     crystallographic data in the world.  Data for about 80,000 organic
     and organometallic crystal structures  were included in the CSD as
     of January, 1991.  Atomic coordinates, chemical connectivity
     tables, bibliographic data fields including reference sources for
     the data, and coordinates for chemical structure diagrams for each
     molecule are part of the system....  About 8000 new crystal
     structures will be added to the data base yearly.
