End of an era! Got lots of memories of sitting hunched over that thing, there's probably still a couple of micrograms of some of my samples floating about in the furnace

I see your immediate vacancy and call with one of my own!

Immediately available PhD studentship (Home fees & stipend) on a MOF/polymers/neutrons/computational project with ISIS, Cardiff and the Ada Lovelace Centre. Original student unable to start so post re-advertised.

BF4 from glass is a new one for, huge excess of XeF2 and taking the "single crystal" part of scxrd very literally I presume? We used to see SiF6 etc popping up all the time, though I wonder how much of that is just selective crystallisation of the less soluble anion

Disordered? Axial bonds look a bit long. If that middle atom wants to spread out when anised I'd suggest maybe BF4 over two positions with three shared fluorines

I usually make these as little souvenirs for students when they finish their final year research projects with a compound theyve gotten the structure of, this one was just a bit of fun for me though
