| Abstract | An introduction to the principles of X-ray diffraction and crystal structure determination as it relates to Chemistry |
| Objective | To gain an understanding of the principles of crystal structure determination by X-ray diffraction. |
| Content | Basic crystallographic concepts: Unit cells, Bravais lattices, Laue symmetry, crystal classes (point groups), space groups, crystal growth, instrumentation, diffraction of X-rays by crystals: physical and geometric basics, powder and single crystal methods, structure solution and modelling, interpretation of crystal structure data; internal coordinates for structure description: atom spacing, co-ordination polyhedra, bond angles, torsion angles; intermolecular interactions, absolute configuration determination. Overview of inorganic, organic and macromolecular databases. |
| Lecture notes | The script and exercises will be distributed weekly in loose form |
