X-Ray Crystallography
The X-ray Crystallography facility offers a complete service for structure solution, refinement and powder diffraction analysis of small molecules, as well as a variety of software for structural analysis and graphics, including the Cambridge Structural Database and CrystalMaker. Low temperature data collection is possible for both single crystal and powder diffraction experiments.
Available equipment:
-
Two single crystal X-ray diffractometers (one Bruker APEX DUO equipped with Mo and Cu sources, and one Bruker X8 APEX equipped with a Mo source)
-
Two powder X-ray diffractometers (Bruker D8 Advance and Bruker D8 Discover equipped with a GADDS detector).
-
7 PC workstations available for structure determination and refinement, and powder diffraction analysis.
