Synchrotron radiation is accessible, decisiveHydrogen bonding affects molecular conformation
Physical adsorption of Kr on graphite
X-ray diffraction of Kr on exfoliated graphite. Crystallography with one Bragg peak - Kr(1,0)
Experiments at SSRL in 1979. (Moncton, Birgeneau, Horn, Brown, PWS)
20x better angular resolution
Substrate coherence length is ~2000Å
Completely new picture!
There is a disordered phase between the commensurate and incommensurate solids. Interesting new physics.Heroic age of synchrotron radiation.
Parasitic on high energy physics.
Huge investment of effort to get one or two weeks of access per year.
National Synchrotron Light Source at Brookhaven National Laboratory
Produces electromagnetic radiation from IR to -rays.Easy to obtain access.
~75 experimental stations~2500 users per yearTypical of many facilities worldwide: APS, ESRF, SLS, SRS Daresbury, SSRL, …, which are eager for users.
Synchrotron access is for:
Academic: Who publish in the open literature*
Industrial: Hold data for proprietary reasons**
The people who operate these facilities need to have them widely used!
* Access by writing competitive proposals or arranging collaboration.
** You have to pay for the prorated cost of operating the facility - ~$250/hour = $2000/pattern at NSLS.

1. Start with the best data you can get (but no better).
2. Get a list of accurate diffraction peak positions.
3. Figure out a lattice that explains the peaks.
4. Guess the space group (systematic absences, # molecules).
5. Search for the best place to put the molecule(s), best conformation of the molecule.
6. Refine, refine, refine, refine, refine, …

Don’t think that people only use powders for organic molecules, or that direct space modelling is the only useful technique

Analyzer crystal geometry measures angles – eliminates significant aberrations of familiar Bragg-Brentano diffractometer.
Capillary sample geometry is very helpful. Eliminates preferred orientation, peak shifts that bother flat plate

#3. IndexingGiven some values of d spacings, find a lattice that fits them, i.e., find {A,B,C,D,E,F } such that every d can be expressed as
1/d 2 = Ah 2 + Bk 2 + Cl 2 + Dkl + Ehl + Fhk for some integers h, k, l.
Familiar programs, in the public domain:TREOR, ITO, DICVOL, have their quirks, but basically they always work, given sufficiently good data. (Often possible with good lab diffractometers, nearly always with synchrotron data.)
TOPAS (Alan Coehlo, Bruker AXS) has indexing tools that are qualitatively more powerful.

Data quality = sample instrument
If a pattern from a good instrument* cannot be indexed, there is something wrong with the sample
*Test your instrument by trying to index known phases of comparable complexity. Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen are good organic test cases to get started.

4. Mannitol hemihydrate
Enalapril Maleate is a potent angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor with two known polymorphs, Form I and Form II. The single crystal structure of Form I has been known for almost twenty years. On the other hand, the crystal structure of Form II has never been reported before because of the difficulty to obtain single crystals of this polymorph, which is made by water slurry of Form I.
The crystal structure of Form II is of interest for several reasons:
1. Form II is the more stable of the two polymorphs.
2. The two forms are structurally similar based on X-ray, IR, and solid-state NMR.
3. The conformation of ACE inhibitors is important to their biological activity.

D-Mannitol (naturally produced in various plants)
Long-standing confusion about how many forms of D-mannitol exist – finally laid to rest by Burger, Henck, & co. (2000). (Their II, I, and III are more commonly known as α, β, δ)
α and β were solved from single crystals in 1968.
δ (lowest melting) identified in 1968, but no single crystals grown
(until ~2002, Henck & Benet-Buchholz, unpublished).
We solved the structure of δ from a powder sample (with 20% β)
Mannitol is widely used as an excipient in freeze-drying; metastable hydrate discovered by Lian Yu. TGA shows it is hemihydrate. Structure solved from powder sample with 26% δ, 2% β, ~10% ice.

What is the energy cost relative to the conformation of all other observed mannitol crystal structures?
Is there no way to pack “table” mannitols and a water of solvation without straining the molecule?
