Instruments

We use a 3-axis goniometer APEX II diffraction system from Bruker-AXS using Mo or Cu radiation.

The laboratory is equipped with CCD area detector that provide fast reliable data collection. Single crystal data is collected at low temperature (173K) by Dr. Richard Staples, PhD.    Diffraction Details: Mo radiation (0.7103) and Cu radiation (1.54), sealed tube, CCD detector, Low temperature data collections are standard.  Other temperature data collections can be performed if it is determined that they are needed.
