Advice on crystal growth / visual inspection of samples   no charge
Sample preparation & mounting:    
  • Ready-to-mount crystals
   no charge
  • Unstable crystals requiring special mounting techniques; poor samples requiring careful searching for suitable specimens
   75.-
Diffractometer time:    
  • Initial determination of approximate unit cell parameters only
   150.-
  • Full data collection, including accurate unit cell parameters, data reduction and application of absorption corrections, if required.
   440.- plus 150.- per 6 hours or part thereof
Liquid nitrogen usage   40.- per data collection
Structure solution & refinement:    
  • Includes full refinement of structure to publication quality standards where possible, absolute structure determination where feasible, preparation of a structure report with experimental details and tables of atomic coordinates, bond lengths, bond angles and torsion angles, and one publication quality diagram of the molecule.
   44.- per non-hydrogen atom in the structural model (minimum charge 1750.-)
Optional services:    
  • Additional specialised molecular illustrations
   45.- per diagram
  • Comprehensive analysis of structural features (hydrogen bonding, unusual geometrical features, intermolecular interactions, etc.)
   225.-
  • Preparation of results for publication, when desired
   co-authorship rights
  • Consultancy
   160.- per hour
  • Express service
   50% surcharge
Charges for unsuccessful analyses:    
  • Failure to find a suitable crystal for measurements, despite repeated attempts, although the crystals look to be suitable by visual inspection
   220.-
  • Failure to solve the structure after a full data collection
   diffractometer time

 

We undertake to produce the best possible results within the shortest reasonable time for the measurements that incur time charges. Where possible, we aim to produce the same quality of results that would be expected by our peers in the crystallographic community. Data quality will not be sacrificed for measurement speed and poor crystals often require more diffractometer time.
