About the School

The School teaches small-molecule single-crystal X-ray structure determination. It is ideal for young researchers in the molecular and solid state sciences for whom a knowledge of crystal structure analysis would be particularly helpful in their current research. More...

Learn the basics

Participants gain hands-on experience in the science and art of routine crystal and molecular structure determination of small molecules through lectures, computer exercises and practical work. More...

Determine the structure
of your own crystal

Participants will collect data and determine the structure of one of their own compounds that they are currently interested in. More...

Diffractometers and Personal Computers

Participants will use the X-ray diffractometers at Tianjin University. Participants will have a computer to work at with all the necessary software. Participants are welcome to bring their own computer but will be responsible for preloading the computer with the appropriate software before the workshop begins (Instructions will be made available).
