Even clothing brands think you should not plot against sinth/lambda.

Check out our latest contribution to the insertion chemistry of arsenium ions just accepted in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social together with @flomeu.bsky.social. It also marks a huge personal milestone as it´s my first publication as co-corresponding author. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Strain‐Release Driven Arsenium Ion Bond Insertion
Although it marks a cornerstone of pnictenium ion [R2Pn]+ reactivity, the insertion of arsenium ions [R2As]+ into non-polar bonds remains highly challenging. Herein, a synthetic approach is developed...

It's not too late to register for the ICDM10 in Durham in July and learn what Quantum Crystallography can do for your crystal structures! www.icdm10.org

If u ever had to depict proteins as schematics in papers, u know the dilemma: how to create a pretty “blob”?
If structure ends up big & central, u’ll render it with PyMol et al, but for a truly schematic depiction u want a biorender-style icon, but for YOUR protein.
Think I’ve finally found a way.

What happens when you try to synthesize the YLID, an established calibration material for single crystal diffractometers? The synthesis „fails“ and rewards you with WYLID the perfect compound to discuss the Ylid/Enolate Equilibrium in YLID. So happy to see this out now in JAC doi.org/10.1107/S160...

Awesome 33rd dgk conference in Hanover!
We enjoyed the beautiful Leibnizuniversität, saw Jiu Jitsu in action and heard lots of fascinating talks. Hope to see everyone again sooner than later.

Very happy I could contribute some not-so-easy heavy structures for testing the implementation of core potentials in Hirshfeld-Atom-Refinement.

Today we crystallized bismuth. Enjoy some nice shots from the lab!

Many crystallographers might be familiar with the iconic Hauptmann vs. Karle amplitude-phase swap, but why not revisiting it by expanding the series? Have fun checking out this 7x7 #crystallography themed Fourier mashup 🤓 high-res version & more soon available on www.behance.net/specialdefects

I'm going to try this question again now that there seem to be a lot more #crystallography people here. Anyone know? #chemsky
My first question for #chemsky: does anyone know what has happened to www.xrayforum.co.uk? Whenever I try to go there it says offline for maintenance. Where else am I going to find my crystallography hacks!?

We have had a fantastic time at the Rossendorf Beamline BM20 at the @esrf.fr! Lots of good data, both on XRD and XRF. Now begins the journy of making sense of it.
Luckily the weather just turned nice on our departure day so a small hile in the beautiful Chartreuse massif was also possible.

Finally back at ROBL of the @esrf.bsky.social for the last time in 2024!
In this experiment we want to test the accuracy of (resonant) crystallographical site-occupancy-factors. We are excited for the outcome!
