Milestone: my 200th deposited crystal structure is now in the CCDC @ccdc.cam.ac.uk (first one in 2012 CCDC 870175, latest today CCDC 2483173). Over the past 13 years, the database has almost tripled in size - adding 1.6 million entries! 🧵👇

Can Z, the number of formula units per unit cell, be a fraction? A report of the IUCr Commission on Crystallographic Nomenclature
The Commission on Crystallographic Nomenclature has concluded that, in some rare, carefully justified circumstances, Z, the number of formula units in the unit cell, may be a fraction.

I have sent ScienceDirect the following questions and asked them to take down their harmful AI feature. Let’s see what they answer.

"In 2019, at the ECM in Vienna [...] a crystallographer in the audience improvised a concise speech thanking George for the contribution in his programs, which was unanimously backed by a standing ovation."
I was present there and vividly remember this moment.
