Determination of Crystal Structures

Determination of Crystal Structures

In the late 1800s, the revelation that light extended beyond visible wavelengths led to the discovery of X-rays by Wilhelm Roentgen. Recognized as high-energy electromagnetic radiation with short wavelengths, X-rays prompted exploration into their interaction with crystals. Max von Laue proposed in 1912 that the periodic arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules in crystals would cause them to diffract X-rays, a hypothesis confirmed through experiments with copper sulfate and zinc sulfide...

$X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples$ 01:10

X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples

X-ray diffraction or XRD is an analytical tool that utilizes X-rays to study ordered structures such as crystalline organic and inorganic samples, polycrystalline materials, proteins, carbohydrates, and drugs.
According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal crystal...

X-ray Crystallography

X-ray Crystallography

The size of the unit cell and the arrangement of atoms in a crystal may be determined from measurements of the diffraction of X-rays by the crystal, termed X-ray crystallography.
Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...

Theories of Dissolution: The Danckwerts' Model and Interfacial Barrier Model

Theories of Dissolution: The Danckwerts' Model and Interfacial Barrier Model

Various dissolution theories provide insight into the factors that influence the dissolution rate. Danckwerts' Model suggests that turbulence, rather than a stagnant layer, characterizes the dissolution medium at the solid-liquid interface. In this model, the agitated solvent contains macroscopic packets that move to the interface via eddy currents, facilitating the absorption and delivery of the drug to the bulk solution. The regular replenishment of solvent packets maintains the concentration...

Theories of Dissolution: Diffusion Layer Model

Theories of Dissolution: Diffusion Layer Model

Dissolution, the process by which drug particles dissolve in a solvent, is explained by the diffusion layer model, a theoretical framework that simulates the absorption of oral drugs and allows us to analyze experimental data.
This process starts with a thin layer, saturated with the drug, forming at the interface between the solid and liquid. The solute then diffuses from this layer into the main solution. The Noyes-Whitney equation suggests that the rate of dissolution relies on the diffusion...

Background:

Analyzing transient structural information from time-resolved X-ray diffraction (TRXD) data is challenging due to solvent interference.
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been essential for decomposing TRXD signals into solute, cage, and solvent components.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a simplified method for analyzing TRXD data without relying on MD simulations.
To enable clear assignment of structural features for reaction intermediates in solution.

Main Methods:

Fourier sine transform (FT) of experimental TRXD data and isolated-solute models.
Comparative analysis of correlation factors between experimental and model FTs.
Truncated Fourier transform (TFT) to exclude low q regions influenced by solvent effects.

Main Results:

Successfully applied TFT analysis to TRXD data for photodissociation of C(2)H(4)I(2), HgI(2), and I(3)(-).
Identified a bridged structure for the C(2)H(4)I transient radical in cyclohexane.
Determined that I(3)(-) decomposes into I + I(2)(-) in methanol upon 267 nm irradiation.

Conclusions:

The developed comparative structural analysis method, utilizing TFT, effectively bypasses the need for MD simulations.
This approach significantly simplifies the analysis of transient structures from TRXD data.
The method provides reliable structural insights into reaction intermediates in various solvent environments.
