For those new to Crystallography • Why bother looking into freely available crystallographic software? • Crystallography can help answer questions that may not seem very crystallographic at the time. • In the following screen images, help determine, using diffraction techniques, whethere is Oxygen in the Earth’s outer core. (unit cell volumes to obtain equations of state - EOS) “O 2 volumes at high pressure from KCl. O 4 decomposition: D" as a siderophile element pump instead of a lid on the core. ” D. Walker, S. M. Clark, L. M. D. Cranswick, M. C. Johnson and R. L. Jones, (2002), Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems (G^3), in press. Slide Lachlan M. D.

Why bother knowing about a variety of modern software? (1 of 2) Path of Most Resistance? Using a variety of “state-ofthe-art” tools can improve versatility by allowing different pathways and approaches to tackle crystallographic problems. – Maximise the ability to handle present and future problems – Be able to cross hurdles that may be intractable or unnecessarily problematic if not approached the right way. Slide Lachlan M. D. Cranswick (l. m. d. cranswick@dl. ac. uk) http: //www. ccp 14. ac. uk

Why bother knowing about freely available software? (2 of 2) Much freely available software is state of the art in both algorithms and usability - (GUIs) • Concentrate on the crystallography • Can be installed on as many computers as you want where-ever you like • Can take programs home and use on their personal computers (negate software piracy problems) Slide Lachlan M. D. Cranswick (l. m. d. cranswick@dl. ac. uk) http: //www. ccp 14. ac. uk

Single Crystal vs Powder diffraction (1 of 9) Single Crystal • “Mass transit” structure solution and refinement • There are difficulties: – Crystal not representative of the bulk – Twinning – Crystal decomposes during data collection – “Difficult” structure Slide Lachlan M.

ICSD via the Web Using an Interface created by Alan Hewat at ILL, Grenoble, France There is a trend for databases to use the web due to the convenience and effectiveness. Also has advantage of being operating system independent for users. – http: //barns. ill. fr/dif/icsd/ Slide Lachlan M. D. Cranswick (l. m. d. cranswick@dl. ac. uk) http: //www. ccp 14. ac. uk

Powder Sample Preparation and Data Collection – Assumption is that you know about appropriate sample preparation and data collection – However, many hardware vendors might not provide the required flexibility in data collection Slide Lachlan M. D. Cranswick (l. m. d. cranswick@dl. ac. uk) http: //www. ccp 14. ac. uk

Variable Count Time data collection • Main idea here is to increase the raw intensity of selected peak areas to assist in the “required” analysis: (similar to what a CAD 4 does) – Up till now, if at all, mainly done for refinement (e. g. , Hill and Madsen method) • On point detector (e. g. , Bragg Bretano flat plate system), do this by varying the count time in a pre-defined manner – (Can also provide more time effective counting time) Fixed Count Time Slide Variable Count Time Lachlan M.

Platon: Validation - why take an interest? • For perhaps the same reason that Columbia University Law/Journalism professors teach their students (at least one - circa late 1940’s): “If your mother says she loves you, ” “CHECK IT OUT!!” • If you want to solve, refine and publish structures that can stand the test of time - that means doing a variety of validation and using a variety of programs to assist in validation!
