Laue's experiment in 1912 of the diffraction of X-rays by crystals led to one of the most influential discoveries in the history of science: the first determinations of crystal structures, NaCl and diamond in particular, by W. L. Bragg in 1913. For the fir ...
The symmetry theory of halving objects into two identical fragments is developed and illustrated by examples. La coupe du roi is a fascinating way to slice an apple into chiral fragments with the same handedness. It may be applied to any object with point ...
Diffractionists usually place the birth of crystallography in 1912 with the first X-ray diffraction experiment of Friedrich, Knipping and Laue. This discovery propelled the mathematical branch of mineralogy to global importance and enabled crystal structur ...

The charge density of urea is studied using very high precision single-crystal synchrotron-radiation diffraction data collected at the Swiss-Norwegian Beam Lines at ESRF. An unprecedented resolution of 1.44 Å-1 in sin[theta][/][lambda] is obtained at 123 K ...
The importance of the central N atom of biguanide (L) in the stability of transition metal complexes [ML2]2+ (M = Cu, Ni) is strikingly demonstrated by replacing the NH by CH2. The novel ligand thus obtained is malonic diamidine (L'). [ML'2]Cl2 (M = Cu, ...
The title compound, C6H12N4. C9H16O4, undergoes several thermotropic phase transitions. The crystalline structure is layered, with sheets of azelaic acid linked to sheets of hexamethylenetetramine by hydrogen bonds. In the room-temperature phase, the azela ...
Crystals of hexamethylenetetramine (HMT) with aliphatic dicarboxylic acids in 1:1 molar ratio exhibit different behaviour depending on the number n of carbons in the aliphatic chain. For n=8 and 10, incommensurate phases have been observed, while for n=9, ...

In a recent publication, Haestier [J. Appl. Cryst. (2009), 42, 798-809] has proposed a method to take care of the unit-cell-parameter uncertainties in the calculation of geometric quantities such as interatomic distances and bond angles by modifying the un ...
