The X-Ray Crystallography Lab is located in the Chemistry Instrumentation Center on the 4th floor of the Chevron Science Center. Our facility is equipped with a Bruker X8 Prospector Ultra with a Copper ImuS micro-focus X-ray source and a Bruker Smart Apex CCD diffractometer, with data collection available at nitrogen-cooled temperatures as low as 90K.
Over 2,200 structures of organic, organometallic, and inorganic compounds have been determined in our lab. While most of our work involves samples from the Department of Chemistry, we are also engaged in collaborations with researchers from other universities and industrial partners. Our computers host software for solving, refining, and viewing crystal structures, and provide access to the Cambridge Structural Database.
