research papersMonoprotonated species of 2-aminomalonyl difluoride, [C3H4F2NO2][H2F3]
The monoprotonated species of 2-aminomalonyl difluoride, [C3H4F2NO2][H2F3], is particularly interesting for the protonation in superacidic media, as well as in Lewis acidic media, due to its two acyl fluoride moieties. The crystal structure is the first single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurement of this compound or its salts.
research papersFast event-based electron counting for small-molecule structure determination by MicroED
Fast readout event-based electron counting (EBEC) is a promising detection strategy to determine accurate ab initio structures of beam-sensitive small molecules by MicroED. A fast EBEC approach enhances the dynamic range of MicroED data by limiting the likelihood of coincidence loss (CL) – the undercounting of electrons due to their spatially and temporally unresolved arrival on a direct electron detector. As implemented by new counting detectors, fast EBEC allows structure-worthy data sets to be captured from individual small-molecule crystals in under a minute.
