Agilent Technologies develop and supply X-ray systems for single-crystal diffraction research, including the SuperNova; a compact, highly reliable and very low maintenance instrument providing X-ray data of the highest quality; and the PX Scanner for testing and characterization of protein crystals in their original crystallization drops (in-situ). The SuperNova and PX Scanner are constantly improving, with recent enhancements including a new range of detectors using an Intelligent Measurement System. The Eos S2, Atlas S2 and Titan S2 detector range employs a smart sensitivity control of the electronic gain and is capable of instantaneously switching its binning modes thus providing unprecedented flexibility in tuning every exposure to provide the highest data quality for a wide range of experiments. We have also developed a completely new micro-focus X-ray source based on Gradient Vacuum technology, with novel filament and target designs. This novel source is an integral part of the new Agilent GV1000 X-ray diffractometer, which has been designed for applications that require even higher brightness of the X-ray beam.

The measurement of Pendellösungs oscillations was used to observe the time dependent nucleation of oxygen in a Czochralski grown single crystal at 750°C. It is shown, that the theoretical approach of the statistical dynamical theory describes the data well. Within the framework of this theory it is possible to determine the static Debye-Waller-factor as a function of the annealing time by evaluating the mean value of the Bragg intensity and the period length. The temperature influence on the Pendellösungs distance was corrected for by measurement of a Float-zone sample at the same temperature.

The crystal structure of bentorite, ideally Ca6Cr2(SO4)3(OH)12·26H2O, a Cr3+ analogue of ettringite, is for the first time investigated using X-ray single crystal diffraction. Bentorite crystals of suitable quality were found in the Arad Stone Quarry within the pyrometamorphic rock of the Hatrurim Complex (Mottled Zone). The preliminary semi-quantitative data on the bentorite composition obtained by SEM-EDS show that the average Cr/(Cr + Al) ratio of this sample is >0.8. Bentorite crystallizes in space group P31c, with a = b = 11.1927(5) Å, c =21.7121(10) Å, V = 2355.60(18) Å3, and Z = 2. The crystal structure is refined, including the hydrogen atom positions, to an agreement index R1 = 3.88%. The bentorite crystal chemical formula is Ca6(Cr1.613Al0.387)Σ2[(SO4)2.750(CO3)0.499]Σ3.249(OH)11.502·~25.75H2O. The Raman spectra of bentorite from two different localities exhibit the presence of the main stretching and bending vibrations related to the sulfate group at 983 cm−1 (ν1), 1109 cm−1 (ν3), 442 cm−1 (ν2), and 601 cm−1 (ν4). Moreover, the presence of bands assigned to the symmetric Cr(OH)63− stretching mode and hydroxyl deformation vibrations of Cr–OH units at ~540 cm−1 and ~757 cm−1, respectively, may be used to distinguish between ettringite and bentorite. In situ high temperature single crystal XRD experiments show that the decomposition of bentorite starts at ca. 45 °C and that a dehydroxylation product similar to metaettringite is formed.

Fundamental notions concerning absolute structure and absolute configuration, and their determination from single-crystal diffraction measurements, are presented and reviewed. A glossary of terms with definitions useful in this field is provided. For absolute structure and its determination, the separate but interacting influences of the structure and the inversion-distinguishing power of an X-ray diffraction experiment with dispersive scatterers are examined. Important experimental and algorithmic details of the current methods used for absolute-structure determination are provided. Characterization of crystals for absolute-structure determination and of molecules for absolute-configuration determination are treated. Attention is given to the analysis of absolute structure and absolute configuration in twinned crystals.

An crystal-growth technique for single crystal x-ray structure analysis of high-pressure forms of hydrogen-bonded crystals is proposed. We used alcohol mixture (methanol: ethanol = 4:1 in volumetric ratio), which is a widely used pressure transmitting medium, inhibiting the nucleation and growth of unwanted crystals. In this paper, two kinds of single crystals which have not been obtained using a conventional experimental technique were obtained using this technique: ice VI at 1.99 GPa and MgCl<sub>2</sub>·7H<sub>2</sub>O at 2.50 GPa at room temperature. Here we first report the crystal structure of MgCl2·7H2O. This technique simultaneously meets the requirement of hydrostaticity for high-pressure experiments and has feasibility for further in-situ measurements.

Herein, we report a facile synthetic methodology for the preparation of 2,3-dialkylquinolines from anilines and propionaldehydes. This cyclization involved environmentally friendly Nafion® NR50 as an acidic catalyst with microwave irradiation as the heating source. A series of substituted 2-ethyl-3-methylquinolines were prepared from various anilines and propionaldehyde derivatives through this protocol with good to excellent yields. Some new chemical structures were confirmed by X-ray single-crystal diffraction analysis and the related data were provided. The plausible reaction mechanism studies are also discussed.
