The
Laboratory for Molecular Structure Analysis
Unit
Description
The
Laboratory for Molecular Structure Analysis was established in 1979 within the
Institute of Chemistry in order to serve researchers from inside and outside the
Institute in all aspects of X-ray crystallography. The laboratory is equipped
with three Single- crystal X-ray Diffractometers and
one Powder X-ray Diffractometer. Dr. Shmuel Cohen is our experienced staff crystallographer and
the unit is supervised academically by Prof. Avi Bino.
Services
include complete three dimensional molecular structure elucidation both at low
and room temperature, comprehensive computerized data bases search, unit-cell
dimensions determination, powder diffraction and simulations of powder
diffraction patterns. The unit also provides consulting services on X-ray
diffraction, sampling, diffraction data collection strategies, powder
diffraction data acquisition and data analysis.
Methods
and Equipment
- Single-crystal
X-ray structure determination is performed using the Bruker SMART APEX CCD diffractometer equipped with a low-temperature
device
- Powder
diffraction is performed using a Philip PW1820
