TLDR
New features added to the refinement program SHELXL since 2008 are described and explained.Abstract:
The improvements in the crystal structure refinement program SHELXL have been closely coupled with the development and increasing importance of the CIF (Crystallographic Information Framework) format for validating and archiving crystal structures. An important simplification is that now only one file in CIF format (for convenience, referred to simply as `a CIF') containing embedded reflection data and SHELXL instructions is needed for a complete structure archive; the program SHREDCIF can be used to extract the .hkl and .ins files required for further refinement with SHELXL. Recent developments in SHELXL facilitate refinement against neutron diffraction data, the treatment of H atoms, the determination of absolute structure, the input of partial structure factors and the refinement of twinned and disordered structures. SHELXL is available free to academics for the Windows, Linux and Mac OS X operating systems, and is particularly suitable for multiple-core processors.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, three mononuclear binary metal complexes of the general formula [M(L)2] and [M1(L),3] were synthesized and were successfully characterized using spectroscopic techniques, together with elemental analysis, which indicated a monobasic bidentate nature of the ligand, coordinated via a deprotonated phenolic oxygen atom and an azomethine nitrogen atom.

A Dual-Functional Luminescent MOF Sensor for Phenylmethanol Molecule and Tb3+ Cation.
TL;DR: Its luminescent properties demonstrate that NBU-9 as a multifunctional sensory material realizes the selective detection for the phenylmethanol molecule on the basis of fluorescence quenching mechanism and effectively sensitizing the visible emitting of the Tb3+ cation based on luminescence enhancement.

Ionothermal synthesis of discrete supertetrahedral Tn (n = 4, 5) clusters with tunable components, band gaps, and fluorescence properties
TL;DR: The ionothermal synthesis of three discrete T4 cluster compounds, namely [Bmmim]5[(CH3)2NH2]4[NH4][M4In16S31(SH)4]·6H2O (M = Mn (1), Zn (2), Cd (3), Bmmim = 1-buty-2,3-dimethyl-imidazolium), and four discrete T5 cluster compounds is reported on.
