Sometimes the world (or synchrotron) is just upside down and you just forget that today is the deadline to register for the Berlin Meet 2025.😐⏰But we got you! You can now register until 29.09.25. See you at BESSY II in Berlin!🥰 #crystallography #bessyii#youngcrystallographers#helmholtzzentrumberlin

Thanks for the great meeting @stoenews.bsky.social! With Yudhajeet Basak and Ben Ebel as our representatives we had so much fun to exchange our experiences with you and other users. We can't wait to meet again at the Berlin Meet 2025! (Btw. don't forget to register :D Link is in the bio)

Even clothing brands think you should not plot against sinth/lambda.

Check out our latest contribution to the insertion chemistry of arsenium ions just accepted in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social together with @flomeu.bsky.social. It also marks a huge personal milestone as it´s my first publication as co-corresponding author. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Strain‐Release Driven Arsenium Ion Bond Insertion

Although it marks a cornerstone of pnictenium ion [R2Pn]+ reactivity, the insertion of arsenium ions [R2As]+ into non-polar bonds remains highly challenging. Herein, a synthetic approach is developed...

It's not too late to register for the ICDM10 in Durham in July and learn what Quantum Crystallography can do for your crystal structures! www.icdm10.org

If u ever had to depict proteins as schematics in papers, u know the dilemma: how to create a pretty “blob”? If structure ends up big & central, u’ll render it with PyMol et al, but for a truly schematic depiction u want a biorender-style icon, but for YOUR protein. Think I’ve finally found a way.

What happens when you try to synthesize the YLID, an established calibration material for single crystal diffractometers? The synthesis „fails“ and rewards you with WYLID the perfect compound to discuss the Ylid/Enolate Equilibrium in YLID. So happy to see this out now in JAC doi.org/10.1107/S160...

Awesome 33rd dgk conference in Hanover! We enjoyed the beautiful Leibnizuniversität, saw Jiu Jitsu in action and heard lots of fascinating talks. Hope to see everyone again sooner than later.

Very happy I could contribute some not-so-easy heavy structures for testing the implementation of core potentials in Hirshfeld-Atom-Refinement. #QuantumCrystallography #Actinides #CompChem

Very tasty opportunities at the single crystal #XRD beamline 'SPLINE' @esrf.fr: postdoc (up to 5years) or team leader (5years)! -- Follow the links for details, deadline end of March. #crystallography www.icmm.csic.es/en/joboffer/... - www.icmm.csic.es/en/joboffer/...

Today we crystallized bismuth. Enjoy some nice shots from the lab!

Liquid bismuth with a visible oxide layer on top.

This was our starting material. Amorphous (?) bismuth, very brittle.

Many crystallographers might be familiar with the iconic Hauptmann vs. Karle amplitude-phase swap, but why not revisiting it by expanding the series? Have fun checking out this 7x7 #crystallography themed Fourier mashup 🤓 high-res version & more soon available on www.behance.net/specialdefects

a 7x7 grid of pictures showing the effect of phases and amplitudes on the reconstruction of a picture from its Fourier components. Every line has amplitude from the same figure, but phases from different ones, while the opposite is true for every column. The images on the diagonal show the original pictures used for the grid. These are representing, in order, Peter Ewald, Dorothy Crawfoot (Hodgkin), Rosalind Franklin, Herbert Hauptmann, Arthur Patterson, Jerome Karle, and Kathleen Yardley (Lonsdale)

I'm going to try this question again now that there seem to be a lot more #crystallography people here. Anyone know? #chemsky

We have had a fantastic time at the Rossendorf Beamline BM20 at the @esrf.fr! Lots of good data, both on XRD and XRF. Now begins the journy of making sense of it. Luckily the weather just turned nice on our departure day so a small hile in the beautiful Chartreuse massif was also possible.

Finally back at ROBL of the @esrf.bsky.social for the last time in 2024! In this experiment we want to test the accuracy of (resonant) crystallographical site-occupancy-factors. We are excited for the outcome!
