Single-crystal X-ray Diffractometer

• Subject Area: Molecular Chemistry
• Term: Funded in 2024
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 547937005

Application for a single-crystal X-ray diffractometer equipped with a bright radiation source and optics for Mo Kα radiation with a low-noise modern detector. The diffractometer should be configured to suffice for two applications: a) generating high-quality, high-resolution diffraction datasets suitable for experimental electron density determinations for systematically creating and analyzing a database of datasets suitable for machine-learning models. b) cost- and time-efficient determination of molecular structures in the framework of chemical constitutional structural analysis of unknown substances.
