single crystal diffractometer

• Subject Area: Molecular Chemistry
• Term: Funded in 2024
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 538820448

A co-funding for a single-crystal X-ray diffractometer with suitably powerful radiation sources and X-ray optics for molybdenum and copper Kα-radiation and modern, low-interference detector technology and contemporary crystal sample cooling. The diffractometer is to be configured in a way that it allows for two major fields of application: a) cost-efficient determination of standard molecular structures as an analytical tool for explorative determination of the constitution of newly made compounds b) provision of powerful radiation to ensure collection of meaningful data sets of weakly diffracting samples lacking heavier atoms and enabling the determination of their absolute configurations. Therefore, particularly the acquisition of a powerful source of copper radiation will be important to boost the scientific capability at our faculty/institutes.
