Crystallography Course
This course provides comprehensive training in single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques for solving real-world chemistry challenges. Participants will master crystal selection and preparation, data collection strategies, space group determination, structure solution and refinement, validation processes, and preparation of publication-standard reports and CIF files for small-molecule and organometallic compounds. Ideal for building confidence in generating accurate crystal structures.
