How to create .CIF file from DRX data in a paper, for compound not found in crystallographic database

I tried to recover a .CIF file with the crystal structure for the compound discussed in [this 2006 paper](https://www.degruyter.com/view/journals/znb/62/2/article-p215.xml), strontium hydroxide octahydrate - $\ce{Sr(OH)2·8H2O}$ - from Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC), but couldn't find it. The paper itself has tables with information recovered from x-ray diffraction data, as shown below.

Is there any free software or open source tool where I can just type the data from these tables to assemble a crystal structure like the ones I'm used to download from the database?




You can't find this entry in CCDC's CSD, because the scope of this database are small *organic*, or *organometallic* molecules' crystal structures. (For large organic molecules, analogue studies' data may be found, e.g., on [wwpdb.org](https://www.wwpdb.org/).) Because your compound is considered as *inorganic*\*, you'll find it in the ICSD, the *inorganic crystal structure database*.


Note, the paper includes the statement:



> 
> «Further details of the crystal structure investigation may be obtained from Fachinformationszentrum Karlsruhe, 76344 Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen, Ger-many (fax: +49-7247-808-666; e-mail: crysdata@fiz-karlsruhe.de, <http://www.fiz-informationsdienste.de/en/DB/icsd/depotanforderung.html>) on quoting the depository number CSD-417100.»

Because CCDC and ISCD established in 2018 [a search interface in common](https://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/structures/), and entries' labels in both databases differ from each other, it is easy to find the record [here](https://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/structures/Search?Ccdcid=417100&DatabaseToSearch=Published). It is not as comfortable as their own GUI and API interfaces ([example ICSD](https://icsd.fiz-karlsruhe.de/index.xhtml;jsessionid=3FA824640364085663B1AD07F53D1B3D)), but it is possible to download the record's `.cif`.


Note that *complementary* to these two databases, there are others like e.g., the [American Mineralogist Crystal Structure Database](http://rruff.geo.arizona.edu/AMS/amcsd.php) and the [COD](https://www.crystallography.net/cod/). Entries [2100155](https://www.crystallography.net/cod/2100155.html), [2100156](https://www.crystallography.net/cod/2100156.html), and [2100157](https://www.crystallography.net/cod/2100157.html) of the later for example point to the `.cif` about $\ce{Sr(OH)2 ·8H2O}$ of a study by [Ricci *et al.*](https://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?BS5014) at 20, 100 and 200 K, published 2005 in *Acta Cryst. B*.

\*) A simplified definition of «organic compound» is that it is molecular and contains at least one carbon atom *excluding* carbon oxides ($\ce{CO, CO2}$, and others), their hydrates, and simple metal carbonates ($\ce{H2CO3, HCO^-\_3, CO^{2-}\_3}$).
