| Recommended semester: 4th -7th semester |
| Scope and form: Lectures and exercises over a 3-week period. |
Evaluation: Approval of exercises and reports
A report is made out. Approval of compulsary exercises is prior to the judging of the report. |
| Examination: 13-scale |
| Previous course: C2030.21330 |
| Preferred prerequisites: c3505 / 21320 / 26320 |

| Participant limitation: Max. 12 |
| Aim: To introduce the principles of structural chemistry in order to enable the student to use X-ray diffraction methods and to interpret the results of crystal structure investigations. |
| Contents: Theory of X-ray scattering from crystals. Single crystal diffractometry. Theory of crystal structure determination. Phase identification by powder diffraction. Use of structural databases and internet resources. Experimental work including crystal mounting and X-ray work. To enlighten the theory a project inclusive of structure determination and structure analyses is carried out. |
| Remarks: Of importance for further teaching in physical and chemical characteristics of solid materials. |
