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
diffractometer/SMART APEX II CCD area detector system
and an associated liquid nitrogen based crystal cooling system capable
of temperatures ranging from ambient to -170 °C.
- a Bruker PLATFORM
diffractometer/SMART 1000 CCD area detector system
and an associated 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 facility also offers access to the
Cambridge Structural Database (CSD)
of over 450,000 organic and organometallic crystal structures,
which has been installed on the facility's Linux workstation.
