Will a damp work to find an optimal position or is it really jumping on a flat surface?

Tell her about the publishing fees

Guess that is *the* quote of the week

Did you check for I2 disorder? Chlorines look kind of large

Gemeinsamer Aufruf der DMG und der DPG

Wie heißt es:

"Physik verhandelt nicht"

Die Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft hat zusammen mit der Deutschen Meteorologischen Gesellschaft einen dringenden Aufruf zu entschlossen Handeln veröffentlicht.

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!🥰

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)

Absolutely love the MPI Summer School on transition metal spectroscopy in Mülheim this week! What an excellent event - so many insightful lectures, practicals and tours! Thanks to the whole team kn Mülheim for hosting this amazing event! @orca-qc-official.bsky.social @maxplanckcampus.bsky.social

Got me! ;)

I will never think about them the same - amazing! 😁

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

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! :)

Thanks so much! When were you there? :)

Can I use this image for educational purposes? :D

Registration for the Berlin Meet 2025 of the Young Crystallographers is now open!🥳 We are excited to see you at BESSY II, Helmholtz Zentrum in Berlin so don't hesitate to register: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Oh yes, I meant for the triclinic ones! :)

About 5-10% would be my estimate, based on nothing whatsoever.

This honestly hurts my eyes, brain, and heart…

That paper is full of mistakes. Something like this should have never been published anywhere.

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...

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/...

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

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!

Uhhh, very nice!

Gold inside? Had two of these in our last experiment and we could not stop playing with it…
