Crystal Structure Determination

To solve a crystal structure means to determine the precise spatial arrangements of all of the atoms in a chemical compound in the crystalline state. This knowledge gives a chemist access to a large range of information, induding connectivity, conformation, and accurate bond lengths and angles. In a...
