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)

On a second thought, this is a really nice example to showcase the P and I case, but also show how you go to the Niggli/reduced cell for the I case! :)

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...

Had a quick look through the quantum crystallographic lense. Beautiful, almost spherical deformation map between O and Be. From this I would definitely three arrows betweeb O and Be!

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...

Seem like I am late to the party but what prevents you from uploading two structures of this, one with the disorder modelled and oke where you mask it for the optimum modelling of the main part? Awesome model!

Ah, yep that is the proper term. :) That‘s a good point. On the other hand how often can‘t you make an educated guess where the work is comming from… I would prefer if more reviews were made available afterwards, be it anonymously or with the names of the reviewers.

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)

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!
