X-Ray Crystallography Facility

Managed by: Department of Chemistry
Description:

Chemical Crystallography is located in the basement of the Chemistry Research Laboratory and contains state-of-the-art single crystal X-ray diffractometers and equipment for sample crystallisation and preparation.

The instrumentation consists of three Rigaku Oxford Diffraction systems, two dual wavelength SuperNova A systems with microfocus copper and molybdenum sources, and a dual wavelength, rotating anode Synergy DW.

All instruments are fitted with Oxford Cryosystems’ Cryostreams enabling routine data collection in the range 80-500 K, facilities also available for exceptional data collections at high pressure and 30-300 K. There are also polarising microscopes, with a hot and cold stage, and digital video cameras.

Training and support is provided by the facility staff and a commercial service is also available on request.
