Chemical reactions rarely go from start to finish ... molecule that lies within the pores and then placed the crystal in the X-ray instrument. They cooled the crystal down to 215 K (-58?

The reaction products can then be directly examined by X-ray crystallographic methods. Only single crystals can be examined by X-ray crystallography. The crystal’s diffraction of X-rays can be ...

By embedding a silver catalyst inside a porous crystal, KAUST researchers have improved a chemical reaction that converts carbon dioxide (CO2) into carbon monoxide (CO), which is a useful ...

Using X-ray laser pulses, the structure of matter can be studied with previously unprecedented accuracy. However, the pulses are so violent that they destroy the sample being irradiated.

The researchers squeezed crystals of copper(I) m-carborane-9-thiolate (Cu-S-M9) in a diamond anvil cell.At 12 gigapascals of pressure, a copper-sulfur bond broke and copper(I) got reduced to ...
