From SIR2008 to SIR2011: the role of electron diffraction

Abstract

The crystal structure solution of small-medium size molecules via single crystal X-ray data is almost a routineprocess. When single crystals of sufficient dimensions are not available, electron diffraction is a usefulalternative: the structure solution however may still be a challenge. We have modified the standard version ofSir2008 to include several new tools, which are expected to make the phasing process more straightforward.Additional work is in progress: in Sir2011, the heir of Sir2008, particular emphasis will be given to a newprocedure for the determination of the space groups, to a new approach (BEA) aiming at reducing in thepractice the disturbing effects of the dynamical scattering and to the simulated annealing algorithm, as aphasing tool particularly useful in case of organic structures, when scarce or poor experimental data areavailable.
