+Chemical Properties
+-------------------
+
+The CSD-1000R dataset consists of 100 atomic environments selected from crystal
+structures in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) [C3]_. These environments
+represent a diverse set of chemical compositions and bonding types, including:
+
+- Metals, metalloids, and non-metals
+- Covalent, ionic, and metallic bonding environments
+- Various coordination numbers and geometries
+
+The dataset captures local chemical environments relevant for modeling properties
+such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) chemical shieldings, aiding in the
+understanding of structure-property relationships in materials chemistry.
+
+For more detailed chemical information, users can refer to the original Cambridge
+Structural Database [C3]_ or the publication by Ceriotti et al. (2019) [C4]_.
