High-pressure diffraction studies of molecular organic solids. A personal view.
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper discusses the trends in the experimental studies of molecular organic solids at high pressures by diffraction techniques. Crystallization of liquids, crystallization from solutions and solid-state transformations are considered. Special attention is paid to the high-pressure studies of pharmaceuticals and of biomimetics.

"Poor-men" High Pressure Cell for Single Crystal X-ray Crystallography
High-pressure has been shown to be a powerful tool for the study of polymorphism in molecular systems, and the effect of pressure on soft organic systems is an area of great current scientific interest (Boldyreva [1], Oswald et al. [2]). Most of the research performed at the high-pressure beamline at the ESRF (ID30/ID27), however, has been confined to characterization of hard materials. Recent ...
متن کاملOrigin of the anomalous X-ray diffraction in phthalocyanine films
The impact of the submolecular electron density on the X-ray diffraction profile of a layer-stacked thin film is studied experimentally and compared with numerical simulations based on the molecular structure and angular arrangement. Important structural information is contained in the X-ray diffraction profile of highly anisotropic molecular thin films, such as phthalocyanines. The results sho...
متن کاملPicosecond X-ray diffraction probed transient structural changes in organic solids.
In this Letter, we report on the experimental characterization of the geometry of short-lived electronically excited states in organic solids by time-resolved x-ray diffraction. Here, the structure factor of the organic crystal is measured as a function of time. Since this technique gives complete structural information, it is a very useful tool for learning more about atom motions on the excit...

X-ray powder diffraction assumes many roles in the analysis of pharmaceuticals. Pharmaceuticals, typically organic solids, exist in numerous solid forms that feature different physical and chemical properties. The vast majority of pharmaceuticals are administered as oral tablet dosage forms. In order for a drug molecule to be absorbed by the body, it must first dissolve. One of the most effecti...
متن کاملCrystal Engineering for Product and Process Design
Crystalline organic solids are ubiquitous as either final products or as intermediates in the specialty chemical, pharmaceutical, and home & personal care industries. Virtually all small molecular weight drugs are isolated as crystalline materials, and over 90% of all pharmaceutical products are formulated in particulate, generally crystalline form. Crystalline chemical intermediates, such as a...
