The aim of this critical review is to provide a broad but digestible overview of
mechanochemical synthesis, ie reactions conducted by grinding solid reactants together …

Many crystalline solids cannot be prepared in the form of single crystals of sufficient size
and/or quality for investigation using single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction techniques, and the …

Most people are familiar with the fact that diamond and graphite are both composed only of
carbon; yet they have very different properties which result from the very different structures …

Two new fluorescent sensors for Zn2+ that utilize fluorescein as a reporting group, Zinpyr-1
and Zinpyr-2, have been synthesized and characterized. Zinpyr-1 is prepared in one step via …

The fluorescence lifetime (τ f), emission quantum yield (Φ f), absorption and emission
spectral data of 20 fluorescein derivatives were measured under the same conditions by …

X-Cell is a novel indexing algorithm that makes explicit use of systematic absences to
search for possible indexing solutions from cells with low numbers of calculated reflections …

The content of this volume has been added to eMagRes (formerly Encyclopedia of Magnetic
Resonance)-the ultimate online resource for NMR and MRI. The term" NMR …

Powder diffraction techniques are becoming increasingly popular as tools for the
determination of crystal structures. The authors of this paper have developed a software …

We report the successful application of a genetic algorithm to tackle crystal structure solution
from powder diffraction data in the case of a previously unknown structure—ortho-thymotic …

Recently, new methods based on the use of genetic algorithms have been explored and
developed for solving crystal structures directly from powder diffraction data. In implementing …
