Single-crystal X-ray diffractometer with micro-source and area detector

小分子晶体材料系统的快速结构解析是<s:1>塞尔多夫海因里希-海涅大学（HHU）在材料、功能剂、催化、传感器等领域持续进行竞争性研究的重要基础。配备微型源交换单元的现代区域探测器单晶x射线衍射仪将仅用于研究，这对HHU的研究项目至关重要。在HHU新成立的研究训练组2482（调制系统间交叉- ModISC）的子项目中，研究化合物的结构确定是重要的。这种结构的测定可以用单晶衍射仪在结晶固体中进行。所提出的衍射仪允许用尺寸远低于0.1 x 0.1 x 0.1 mm3的非常小的晶体来确定光原子结构，不需要冷却x射线源和不需要高压电源，因此与传统设备相比，显著降低了能耗和无故障连续运行。在<s:1> sseldorf结构化学研究所现有的两台衍射仪中，2012年获得的单晶衍射仪由于老化和不幸已经失去支持（Bruker公司宣布），很快需要更换。

The rapid structure elucidation of small-molecule-based crystalline material systems is an essential basis for the continuing competitive research at the Heinrich-Heine-University (HHU) of Düsseldorf in the field of materials, functional agents, catalysis, sensors and others. The availability of a modern area-detector single-crystal X-ray diffractometer with a micro-source exchange unit, which will only be used in research, is fundamental for the research projects at the HHU.In subprojects of the newly established Research Training Group 2482 (Modulation of Intersystem Crossing - ModISC) at the HHU, the structure determination of compounds investigated there is important. This structure determination can be carried out in the crystalline solid with the single-crystal diffractometer.The proposed diffractometer allows the determination of light atomic structures with very small crystals with dimensions well below 0.1 x 0.1 x 0.1 mm3, requires no cooling of the X-ray source and no high voltage power supply, so that compared to conventional devices significantly lower energy consumption and trouble-free continuous operation is guaranteed. Of the two existing diffractometers at the Düsseldorf structural chemistry institute, the single-crystal diffractometer obtained in 2012 is soon in need of replacement due to aging and due to the unfortunately already missing support (announced by the company Bruker).
