Welcome to the X-ray Lab at UNF Chemistry
The X-ray Lab was established in 2015 after the NSF grant to a team of PIs lead by Professor Christos Lampropoulos of Chemistry.

About the instrument |
Professor Christos Lampropoulos is an expert in small molecule single-crystal x-ray crystallography. He has long experience in the structural analysis of transition metal cluster and coordination complexes, organic compounds, and supramolecular systems.
Diamond Anvil CellThe lab is equipped with a Almax Easylab Bragg S diamond anvil cell for collecting x-ray data at high pressures, up to 20 GPa.

The laboratory is equipped with a Bruker D8 Venture single-crystal diffractometer. The instrument has a Kappa goniometer, a CMOS detector allowing shutterless data collection, and a microfocus Mo X-ray source. The Oxford cold finger allows for data collection in the 80-400 K range.
Other equipmentThe X-ray lab includes a Leica S8 APO stereomicroscope featuring an integrated Leica camera with life feed of the sample space. The lab also includes a 55 inch wall-mount monitor for demos and teaching.
SoftwareThe lab is using the latest crystallographic software, including the Bruker APEX3 suite, the PLATON and SHELX packages, Crystal Explorer, Diamond, Olex, CCDC database and others.
