X-Ray Crystallography Laboratory
Established in 1981, the X-Ray Crystallography Laboratory provides
single-crystal X-ray crystallographic services to the University of
Alberta Chemistry Department. Instrumentation includes:
- a Bruker
D8
Duo diffractometer / SMART APEX II CCD area detector system
equipped with two radiation sources (Cu microsource and and Mo
sealed-tube) and featuring a liquid-nitrogen-based crystal cooling
system capable of temperatures ranging from ambient to -170 °C;
- a Bruker
PLATFORM diffractometer / SMART APEX II CCD area detector system
with a sealed-tube radiation source (Mo) and featuring a
liquid-nitrogen-based crystal cooling system capable of
temperatures ranging from ambient to -150 °C.
Structures may be fully solved and refined by the
staff crystallographers, or may be processed (using
data collected with the facility's instruments) by research groups
possessing their own crystallographic computing resources.
The crystallographers may also be consulted by local users for
searches of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD)
of almost 600,000 organic and organometallic crystal structures,
which has been installed on the facility's Linux workstation.
