X-ray Diffraction
Welcome to the laboratory for single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction at the Institute for Inorganic and Analytiscal Chemistry (IAAC)
A crystallographer at work
X-ray diffraction methods on crystalline samples belong to the most important analytical techniques for the elucidation of the structures of molecules and solids. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) enables access to detailed structural information of unknown chemical compounds. X-ray diffraction on crystalline powders (P-XRD or PD) is applied, for example, for the quality inspection of known reaction products.
In our laboratory, X-ray diffractometers for different analytical problems are available. We are conducting contract measurements and provide advice to researchers and students about all questions concerning X-ray diffraction and related issues.
Information
We are delighted to announce the approval of funding for a new single-crystal X-ray diffractometer by the European Union. This funding will significantly strengthen our infrastructure for cutting-edge research and open up numerous new scientific opportunities.
Further information about this funding is available from the university here or directly from EFRE ThüringenExternal link.
