The X-ray single crystal diffractometer is mainly used to determine the three-dimensional spatial structure and electron cloud density of crystalline substances such as inorganic, organic, and metal complexes, and to analyze the structure of special materials such as twinning, non commensurate crystals, quasicrystals, etc.
Determine the accurate three-dimensional space (including bond length, bond angle, configuration, conformation, and even bonding electron density) of new compound (crystalline) molecules and the actual arrangement of molecules in the lattice; It can provide information on the crystal cell parameters, space group, crystal molecular structure, intermolecular hydrogen bonding and weak interactions, as well as structural information such as molecular configuration and conformation. It is widely used in analytical research in chemical crystallography, molecular biology, pharmacology, mineralogy, and materials science.
