The crystal structures of eight mono-methyl alkanes have been determined from single-crystal or high-resolution powder X-ray diffraction using synchrotron radiation. Mono-methyl alkanes can be found on the cuticles of insects and are believed to act as rec ...
New opportunities for studying (sub) microcrystalline materials with small unit cells, both organic and inorganic, will open up when the X-ray free electron laser (XFEL) presently being constructed in Switzerland (SwissFEL) comes online in 2017. Our synchr ...
Ditopic N-donor ligands with terminal 4-pyridyl groups are omnipresent in coordination-based self-assembly. The utilization of ligands with 3-pyridyl donor groups is significantly less common, because the intrinsic conformational flexibility of these ligan ...
In the present study the challenge of analyzing complex micro X-ray diffraction (microXRD) patterns from cement clay interfaces has been addressed. In order to extract the maximum information concerning both the spatial distribution and the crystal structu ...
The crystal structure of a disordered form of Cr1/3NbS2 has been characterized using diffraction and inelastic scattering of synchrotron radiation. In contrast to the previously reported symmetry (P6322), the crystal can be ...
Cerium(III) and cerium(IV) both form formate complexes. However, the species in aqueous solution and the solid-state structures are surprisingly different. Ce(III) shows only mononuclear complexes in aqueous solution, whereas Ce(IV) forms a stable hexanucl ...
The Hoffman-type coordination compound [Fe(pz)Pt(CN)(4)]2.6H(2)O (pz=pyrazine) shows a cooperative thermal spin transition at around 270K. Synchrotron powder X-Ray diffraction studies reveal that a quantitative photoinduced conversion from the low-spin (LS ...
PILATUS X-ray detectors are in operation at many synchrotron beamlines around the world. This article reports on the characterization of the new PILATUS3 detector generation at high count rates. As for all counting detectors, the measured intensities have ...
Meta stable embedded nano-sized -particles within a single grain extracted from an alloy having the nominal composition have been examined with X-ray diffraction. By applying the orientational and metric relationships that exist between the hexagonal unit ...
An efficient method for modelling a polytypic family is presented with the example of cimetidine in the form C polymorph. The method exploits the (3 + 1)-dimensional superspace model, which is a powerful tool for the description, prediction and understandi ...
