X-Ray Diffraction Laboratory

X-ray crystal structure determination is an important technique for most inorganic and organic chemists.The X-ray Diffraction Laboratory at UM-St. Louis supports the research programs of several research groups in the department. Also, we collaborate with a number of groups elsewhere in the USA and in other countries in their solid-state structure determination research. The Laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation and computational facilities for solid state three dimensional crystal and molecular structure determinations. The facility is located in custom-designed laboratory space in the Center for Nanoscience, opened in November 1996, and currently houses single crystal and powder diffractometers.
