The crystal structure, thermal vibrations and electron density of the peptide N-acetyl-L-tyrosine ethyl ester monohydrate, C13H17NO4.H2O, have been analysed using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data collected at 110 K with Mo Kα radiation to a resolution of (\sin\theta/\lambda)_\max = 1.1 Å−1. A CCD area detector was used to collect 98 393 data during one week. A multipolar atom density model was fitted against the 10 189 unique data with I > 2σ(I) [R(F) = 0.027, wR(F) = 0.020, g.o.f. = 0.65] in order to map the valence electron distribution. These deformation densities compare very well with those obtained from conventional diffractometers equipped with scintillation detectors. This work shows that area detectors permit charge density studies in a more routine way than is possible with conventional diffractometers.

An end-station for X-ray Raman scattering spectroscopy at beamline ID20 of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility is described. This end-station is dedicated to the study of shallow core electronic excitations using non-resonant inelastic X-ray scattering. The spectrometer has 72 spherically bent analyzer crystals arranged in six modular groups of 12 analyzer crystals each for a combined maximum flexibility and large solid angle of detection. Each of the six analyzer modules houses one pixelated area detector allowing for X-ray Raman scattering based imaging and efficient separation of the desired signal from the sample and spurious scattering from the often used complicated sample environments. This new end-station provides an unprecedented instrument for X-ray Raman scattering, which is a spectroscopic tool of great interest for the study of low-energy X-ray absorption spectra in materials under in situ conditions, such as in operando batteries and fuel cells, in situ catalytic reactions, and extreme pressure and temperature conditions.

Abstract The charge density of the tripeptide L-alanyl-glycyl-L-alanine was determined from three X-ray data sets measured at different experimental setups and under different conditions. Two of the data sets were measured with synchrotron radiation (beamline F1 of Hasylab/DESY, Germany and beamline X10SA of SLS, Paul-Scherer-Institute, Switzerland) at temperatures around 100 K while a third data set was measured under home laboratory conditions (MoKα radiation) at a low temperature of 20 K. The multipole refinement strategy to derive the experimental charge density was the same in all cases, so that the obtained charge density properties could directly be compared. While the general analysis of the three data sets suggested a small preference for one of the synchrotron data sets (Hasylab F1), a comparison of topological and atomic properties gave in no case an indication for a preference of any of the three data sets. It follows that even the 4 h data set measured at the SLS performed equally well compared to the data sets of substantially longer exposure time.
