Single Crystal X-Ray Diffraction (SXRD)

X-Ray crystallography is a powerful, versatile and quantitative technique available to elucidate the three-dimensional structure of crystal at molecular and atomic levels and it is based on the X-Ray diffraction method. X-Ray diffraction provides three-dimensional electron density map which is used to determine the crystal structure of thousands of organic, inorganic, organometallic and biological compounds. The structural data of organic, organometallic compounds are deposited in Cambridge Structural Database (CSD). The WINGX software package is used to determine the crystal structure, draw the molecular graphics and calculate non-bonded interactions. This provides detailed information about the X-Ray diffractometer, working principle, data collection, structure determination, software used and structure analysis.
