Journal ArticleDOI
Contemporary Advances in the Use of Powder X-Ray Diffraction for Structure Determination.
TL;DR: The types of structural problems for which structure determination may now be tackled directly from powder diffraction data are highlighted, and contemporary applications across several chemical disciplines are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Luminescent Properties of Novel Eu3+ Heterocyclic β-Diketonate Complexes with Bidentate Nitrogen Donors
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the substitution of solvent molecules by bidentate nitrogen ligands in Eu(PBI)3.H2O.phen richly enhances the quantum yield and lifetime values and suggest that the dynamic coupling mechanism is quite operative in these compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
The application of a genetic algorithm for solving crystal structures from powder diffraction data
TL;DR: In this paper, a genetic algorithm was used to solve a crystal structure solution from powder diffraction data in the case of ortho-thymotic acid, and the structure solution was found efficiently in the genetic algorithm calculation, and was then used as the initial structural model in Rietveld refinement calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Genetic Algorithm: Foundations and Apllications in Structure Solution from Powder Diffraction Data
TL;DR: The fundamental concepts underlying genetic algorithms are discussed and the implementation of the genetic algorithm for structure solution from powder diffraction data is described, with examples of previously known and previously unknown structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dinuclear Ruthenium(II) Triple-Stranded Helicates: Luminescent Supramolecular Cylinders That Bind and Coil DNA and Exhibit Activity against Cancer Cell Lines†
TL;DR: In this article, a fluorescent supramolecular cylinder was used to bind noncovalently to DNA and showed anticancer activity in cell lines, but it was not shown to be effective in the detection of cancer.
