X-ray
Crystallography Laboratory
The X-ray Crystallography Laboratory of the Department
of Chemistry and Biochemistry conducts characterizations by X-ray
diffraction of small-molecule organic or inorganic single crystals
submitted primarily by the Department. As
an extension service, the facility also accepts sample submissions from
other departments of the University,
and from local, national, and international collaborators of academe and
industry. The facility also serves as an ancillary graduate research
laboratory for selected graduate students pursuing studies in inorganic
chemistry leading to a doctorate degree.
Currently, structural studies are performed on a APEX Bruker-AXS CCD X-ray
diffractometer equipped with an monocap collimator. Data
are collected typically at 120K. Structures are solved with SHELXTL
software. Typical turn-around times under average conditions,
from start of data-collection to completely refined structure, range from a
few hours to a day.
Completed structures can be accessed through the web. To register for
the secure web server, please send an email message with an account name
and password. The Tirith
Webfileserver page is compatible with latest versions of Internet Explorer, Safari and Netscape.
