Single crystal diffractometer

至少从20世纪70年代末开始，现代合成/分子化学在没有X射线衍射单晶结构分析的情况下是不可想象的。它早已成为除了结构参数分析之外，确定分子中原子连接的最重要方法。从这个角度来看，单晶X射线结构分析是任何化学研究所都不应该缺少的常规分析方法。单晶X射线结构分析属于罗斯托克大学化学研究所的中心服务（ZD），由Schulz教授博士组织。ZD的一部分是单晶X射线衍射部门，由PD博士亚历山大维林格领导。应该指出的是，单晶X射线衍射部门作为整个罗斯托克大学的服务设施，即它服务于化学领域的要求（特别是无机和有机化学），但也来自所有其他学科（物理，材料科学等）。通过此申请，我们要求更换2008年投入使用的设备（Kappa APEX II，Bruker AXS）。不幸的是，该设备处于其使用寿命的末期，这表示，除其他事项外，近年来由于问题，它已经非常频繁地停止工作，因为它非常容易出现故障和维修，这有时导致6个月内无法测量单晶的事实（！），因为我们的第二台布鲁克公司的衍射仪也因检测器故障而停止工作。这导致了一个非常强烈的损害的科学工作和许多问题，在执行学士，硕士和博士论文。此外，多次维修导致费用高昂，像我们这样的小研究所几乎无法承担。更换应确保化学为导向的科学和罗斯托克大学的邻近学科将继续提供现代衍射仪设备在未来。

Modern synthesis/molecule chemistry is no longer conceivable without single crystal structure analysis by means of X-ray diffraction, at least since the end of the 1970s. It has long since become the most important method for determining the linkage of atoms in a molecule, in addition to the analysis of structural parameters. From this point of view, single crystal X-ray structure analysis is a routine analytical method that no chemical institute should be without. The single crystal X-ray structure analysis belongs to the central services (ZD) at the Institute of Chemistry of the University of Rostock, which are organised by Prof. Dr. Schulz. Part of the ZD, is the department of single crystal X-ray diffraction, which is headed by PD Dr. Alexander Villinger. It should be pointed out that the Department of Single Crystal X-ray Diffraction functions as a service facility for the entire University of Rostock, i.e. it serves requests from the field of chemistry (especially inorganic and organic chemistry), but also from all other disciplines (physics, material sciences, etc.). With this application, we are requesting a replacement for a device (Kappa APEX II, Bruker AXS) that was put into operation in 2008. This device is unfortunately at the end of its service life, which is expressed, among other things, that it has stopped working extremely often in recent years due to problems, as it is extraordinarily susceptible to faults and repairs, which sometimes led to the fact that no measurement of single crystals was possible for a period of 6 months(!), as our second diffractometer from the Bruker company also stopped due to a defective detector. This led to a very strong impairment of the scientific work and many problems in the execution of BSc, MSc and PhD theses. In addition, the many repairs led to high costs, which a small institute like ours can hardly afford. The replacement should ensure that the chemically oriented sciences and also the neighbouring disciplines of the University of Rostock will continue to be provided with modern diffractometer equipment in the future.
