The Effect of Hydrogen Bonding on the Nucleophilicity and Basicity of Fluorid...
In nucleophilic fluorination reactions it is extremely difficult to tune the reactivity of the fluoride anion in organic solution to give the desired product. Building on our... -
Heterolytic Cleavage of H2 using Non-Metal Frustrated Lewis Pairs
The synthesis of Frustrated Lewis Pairs (FLP¿s) have recently experienced a huge surge in popularity as they have been found to be a novel approach for the activation of small... -
Short range magnetic correlations in Gd3Ga5O12
In recent years topologically complex materials have provoked questions about the basic models of magnetism. These materials have given rise to unusual phenomena, including... -
X-ray Radiation damage to DNA at the atomic level
The interaction of ionizing radiation such as X-rays with biological samples causes damage to the samples. Recent work from our group with various protein crystals, peptides and... -
A single-crystal diffuse scattering study of Ferrocene
We propose here a detailed study of the diffuse scattering of ferrocene with the key objective of investigating the origin of the cyclopentadienyl (Cp) ring disorder in this... -
Evolution of the magnetic order in Yb(Rh(1-x)Cox)2Si2
In this proposal we want to clarify the magnetic structure on Yb(Rh(1-x)Cox)2Si2 by means of single neutron diffraction on SXD. In previous experiments we identified the... -
Hydrogen Bonding Effects on the Nucleophilicity and Basicity of Fluoride Anio...
In nucleophilic fluorination reactions, developing strategies for tuning the reactivity profile of fluoride anion in organic solution is a major challenge. Inspired by Nature¿s... -
Proton transfer in croconic acid
Croconic acid has recently emerged as the first example of an above room-temperature organic single component ferroelectric. Our goal is to determine its crystal structure at... -

Divacancy superstructures and enhanced thermopower in NaxCayCoO2
Replacing Na ions in NaxCoO2 with divalent Ca ions results in the formation of ordered arrays of divacancy clusters, rather than the trivacancy clusters found for the pure... -
Compression of meridianiite (MgSO4.11D2O) single crystals to 5 kbar
We propose to carry out single crystal diffraction measurements of the most hydrated MgSO4 compounds, meridianiite, using a thin-walled TiZr gas cell on SXD up to 5 kbar. These... -
Determining the magnetic moments of Co and Mn ions in the Ca3CoMnO6 unique mu...
Ca3Co1.05Mn0.95O6 is a rather unique multiferroic being the only known system with displaying collinear magnetic order that breaks inversion symmetry. To date it was not... -
Single-crystal analysis of disorder in deuterated and protonated mirabilite
Mirabilite (Na2SO4.10H2O) is relevant to many areas of geology, planetary science, and even the construction industry. It occurs naturally in evaporite deposits, and even as... -
The charge-ordered superstructure of YbFe2O4
There has been much recent interest in the so-called ¿novel¿ or ¿type-II¿ multiferroics, in which electrical polarisation appears at the onset of a particular type of magnetic... -
Pressure dependence on the isomorphic phase transition in KOs2O6
We are requesting 5 days of beamtime on HRPD to measure powder diffraction patterns of KOs2O6 under He gas high pressure up to 150 MPa. KOs2O6 exhibits a novel phase transition... -
Thermochromism in N-salicylideneanilines
N-salicylidineanilines are known to show thermochromic behaviour, which is currently postulated to arise from an intramolecular proton shift between the keto and enol form as... -
Diffuse scattering studies of squaric acid in an applied electric field
Organic ferroelectric compounds such as KH2PO4 and squaric acid, have attracted much interest in the past due to their potential in applications [1]. This interest has been... -
Atomic resolution holographic study of polycrystalline yttrium hydride
It is commonly accepted that the recording of holograms with atomic resolution requires singlecrystalline samples. Closer analysis, however, shows that the reduced information... -
Neutron Diffraction Studies on YbCu4Ga8
We discovered a new compound YbCu4Ga8 and the available laboratory single crystal data shows that it crystallizes in the tetragonal system. The asymmetric unit contains one Yb... -
Characterising anion binding by analysis of the electron density distribution
The aim of our work is to use charge density analysis to gain insight into the process of binding relatively small anions by specifically designed small organic molecules. These...
