Xray diffraction7/4/2023 ![]() Both instruments are equipped with a position-sensitive detector allowing rapid data collection for qualitative and quantitative identification of crystalline phases, such as polymorphs. The two Bruker D8 powder diffractometers (primary monochromatic CuKα radiation) operate in both reflection (flat plate) and transmission (flat plate or capillary) geometries. Full structural reports are available in a choice of standard formats. We can offer data collection solely or data collection with full structure determination. Data can be collected under an inert nitrogen atmosphere between 90 and 500 K (-183 and 227 ☌), useful for studying phase transitions, changes in molecular geometry and intermolecular interactions as a function of temperature. ![]() The EPSRC funded Oxford Diffraction Gemini Ultra diffractometer operates using either CuKα or MoKα radiation allowing crystal structures to be determined for a range of materials including pharmaceutical and small biological molecules, as well as molecular and extended organic and inorganic compounds. Members of staff have considerable expertise in these analytical techniques and are happy to discuss potential projects on a sample-by-sample basis, as part of a formal contract or, for longer-term studies, in collaboration. The Chemical Analysis Facility (CAF) has state-of-the-art facilities for single-crystal, powder and small-angle scattering X-ray diffraction.
