What is Single Crystal Analysis?

Single Crystal X-Ray Diffraction (SC-XRD) is a technique used to determine the precise three-dimensional atomic arrangement within a crystal. By analyzing how X-rays diffract off a single, well-formed crystal, this method provides the most detailed structural information available, including exact bond lengths, angles and the full molecular architecture of the compound.

What is the Sample Requirement for Single Crystal Analysis?

A single, well-formed crystal, typically 0.1 to 0.5 mm in size and free of significant defects, cracks or twinning, is required for good quality data collection.

What information does SC-XRD provide?

SC-XRD provides the complete crystal structure, including unit cell dimensions, space group, atomic positions, bond lengths and angles, and can confirm molecular connectivity and stereochemistry with high confidence.
