High-energy X-ray structure determinations using synchrotron radiation. Part 2. Crystal structure analysis of a hexatungstate by a high-energy X-ray diffraction experiment using an imaging plate Weissenberg camera at the BL04B2 beamline of SPring-8
An imaging plate Weissenberg camera was installed in the BL04B2 beamline of SPring-8 aiming at automated crystal structure determinations of small molecules. Since this beamline is designed to provide X-rays with the energies higher than 37 keV (lambda < 0.33 Angstrom), this camera is advantageous in crystal structure analyses of heavily X-ray absorbing materials. The title crystal structure analysis led to precise positional parameters and well-behaved displacement parameters not only for heavy atoms but also for light atoms.
