Bruker Kappa Apex
Single-crystal XRD for used to determining the structure of small molecules from a single crystal
Description
The Bruker Kappa Apex II is a single-crystal XRD used for determining the structure of small molecules from single crystals of organic, organometallic and coordination compounds. The short wavelength of MoKα (0.7107 Å) is more suitable for compounds containing very heavy atoms. The instrument is also capable of crystal face indexing.
Specifications
- 4-circle goniometer with standard Peltier-cooled CCD.
- Micro-focus Mo sealed X-ray source.
- Oxford Cryostream (700 series) liquid nitrogen cooling/heating system (100 – 400K).
Applications
Structural determination of highly absorbing samples
- Organometallics & lanthanides
Coordination chemistry
- Metal-ligand interactions & MOF
Variable-temperature crystallography
