Powder crystallography
Determination of the crystal structure from powder X-ray diffraction data holds promise for the future in a variety of fields, including materials science, biotechnology and pharmaceuticals. In applications where the growth of diffraction quality single crystals has become a rate limiting step, powder X-ray crystallography has become a viable option for 3D molecular structure determination. Given certain constraints, it has become routine to refine structures from a decent quality powder X-ray diffraction data.
