The X-ray Diffraction Facility at the Chemistry Department of FCT-NOVA provides a Crystallography Service for the determination of the three-dimensional structure of small molecules:
- Unit cell parameters and space group only
- Complete data collection only (Room temperature or under refrigerated nitrogen gas stream)
- Complete data collection and structure determination
- Absolute configuration determination
Crystals are evaluated under the polarizing microscope and selected if suitable for X-ray data collection and structural analysis. Data is obtained in the in-house X-ray diffractometer (Bruker D8 Venture with Mo-Kα and Cu-Kα microfocus dual source), and collected on a Photon 100 CMOS detector, according to experimental requirements. Dedicated software permits indexing, integration, scaling of data and 3D structure solution.
The 3D structure determination can be required under
