This diffraction pattern is from one of the most exciting structures I got so far. Collected with 'naked' beam at synchrotron, poor res, but solves. The problem is that some atoms in the side-chain are 'missing' and can't really be located with this data quality and possibly a disorder... 😭😭😭

Goodbye, Diamond! See you remotely next time! 💎

First-ever preparation of shipping of crystals to @diamondlightsource.bsky.social in our group @besserchemistry.bsky.social is finished! We’ll find out how good my technique was in about two weeks 😄

Successful collection of a dataset at DESY. Now have one macrocycle crystallised as three different solvatomorphs with different packing!

I noticed that recently these kind of ciecular diagrams got very popular as TOCs; however, not sure if it’s just me but I find them completely non-readable and when I see them I immediately skip the article 😅😅😅 Random example attached

Yeah, maybe it’s so well separated that it doesn’t change much…. Here’s a look at the Ewald sphere. It says that the two domauns are related by 177deg rotation so maybe more of a split crystal rather than a proper twin? No idea, don’t have much experience with twinning cases

Struggling with a terrible twin refinement. Everything looks OK during processing and when adding data from second component to the refinement it just doesn’t change almost anything in the R values… 😓 And the dataset is quite good, with nicely separated reflections! #crystallography

Picked a big boy today. Not bad for something with molecular mass of 2500 😌

Fingers crossed for Justyna Steczkowska! I wasn't really following Eurovision in the previous years but they finally chose someone who can actually sing! 🇵🇱 #Eurovision2025

It's a routinely generated thing but feels nice anyway. Btw i really enjoy peer-reviewing manuscripts so you know, Editors 👀

A small adventure by the Baltic Sea in Poland, I even managed to find a relatively rare jellyfish (cyanea capillata)! 🪼

Extremely happy to have been awarded a CCDC Young Crystallographer Prize @crystallography.org.uk @ccdc.cam.ac.uk Again, a big thank you to all who made it possible, particularly those shown in the slide.

It's perfect!!! Occupancy ratio: THF 0.2, hexane 0.4 (disordered over symmetry element).

I think I have a CRAZY DISORDER with THF hiding under this already disordered hexane 🥲 #crystallography Look,@ntumanovxray.bsky.social !
