Crystal Structures of XeF2·2PtF4 and XeF2·2PdF4 Determined by 3D Electron Diffraction and Structural Models of XePtF6 Although the demonstration of noble-gas reactivity represents one of the most significant breakthroughs of 20th-century inorganic chemistry, the first noble-gas compound, XePtF6 (XeF2·PtF4), lacks com...

We used 3D electron diffraction to elucidate the crystal structures of XePt₂F₁₀ and XePd₂F₁₀. Based on these findings, we propose structural models for the first noble-gas compound, XePtF₆.

Great talks at @in2ub.bsky.social annual workshop, also on #3DED used on archeological artifacts to structurally characterize pigments in ceramics.

Design of a Zn-based porphyrin MOF biosensor for fluorometric detection of HER2 as a breast cancer biomarker Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is a critical biomarker for early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. In this study, we report the synthesis and characterization of a novel zinc-...

This paper by researchers from UAE Uni studies a Zn-MOF designed as a biosensor for HER2, a critical biomarker for early detection of breast cancer.
Always nice to see our kit used in life-saving research and proud Khai could contribute!

sometimes you need some metal music to solve unknown structures. all week fighting with one of these ugly small-molecule organics but it seems like it needed some heavy riffs and blast beats to get it through. jop done. now I can enjoy the weekend :) #3DED #crystallography #precession

Absolute Asymmetric Synthesis of a Homochiral Polymer from an Achiral Monomer This work demonstrates the absolute asymmetric synthesis of a homochiral polymer from an achiral monomer. Owing to the preservation of symmetry and anisotropy in topochemical reactions, the supramole...

3D Electron Diffraction (aka MicroED) continues to generate high-quality research. We are proud to share this new paper by Dr. Kana M. Sureshan and colleagues on which our own Christian Göb is a co-author.

Brilliantly Red: The Structure of Carmine Carmine is a red pigment made from dried cochineal, a scale insect that has been a source of brilliant scarlet reds in clothing and art for more than two millennia, with records dating back to 700 BC....

Carmine is a red pigment used since antiquity to color textiles, in paintings by Rembrandt and Van Gogh, and today as a food coloring agent (E120).

Very excited that @esvenssongrape.bsky.social finally reveals the crystal structure of carmine by #3DED!

So true, a lot of detail is swept under the carpet, and assumed away. Far too many are treating ED as though its a fully understood subject.
Still so much to discover

I’ll save my rant about why MicroED is a terrible terrible name for another time

Rigaku and Spera Pharma are collaborating to bring electron diffraction into pharma workflows. With their XtaLAB Synergy-ED now fully commissioned, Spera offers ED-based services. We're proud to support their leadership. Read in the comments!
