My Polish mind getting triggered from being called eastern european 😅
Is it really single though? 👀
Your followers are waiting. 👀
The Esser group @besserchemistry.bsky.social is happy happy happy 😍 Collecting data on our crystals remotely at @diamondlightsource.bsky.social
Yeah… painful 😅
It’s quite fun when one full sphere data collection always takes just 15min 😊
105 crystals from our group @besserchemistry.bsky.social mounted, frozen and ready for a trip to Diamond!
Three weeks with this cute boi coming to an end 🥹
Polish lunch 🥰
This diffraction pattern is from one of the most exciting structures I got so far. Collected with 'naked' beam at synchrotron, poor res, but solves. The problem is that some atoms in the side-chain are 'missing' and can't really be located with this data quality and possibly a disorder... 😭😭😭
Why would you draw a whole molecule 😊
Super happy that I could contribute to this excellent paper! The holy grail of oligo-porphyrin chemistry was finally made 😍
Goodbye, Diamond! See you remotely next time! 💎
The gods of crystallography have been relatively good for us today 💎
Very nice work. It’s probably my second favourite tutorial right after Amber’s paper! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
First-ever preparation of shipping of crystals to @diamondlightsource.bsky.social in our group @besserchemistry.bsky.social is finished! We’ll find out how good my technique was in about two weeks 😄
Successful collection of a dataset at DESY. Now have one macrocycle crystallised as three different solvatomorphs with different packing!
It’s the second time when I was able to sign it. In three other cases the journals did not give that possibility.
Feels so nice when you get a paper to review, you suggest some revisions and then authors introduce them and it all looks so much better! #HappyReviewer P.S. Also decided to reveal my identity in the report in the end. I think it’s fair.
The best solution of the problem - stop calling it a problem, just don’t fill it 😅
Checking whether anyone did an experiment I need while writing a paper and finally found it. Reference to a spectrum I was searching for: „Author X, Author Y, PRIVATE COMMUNICATION”. 😅😅😅 How was it even allowed?!
I noticed that recently these kind of ciecular diagrams got very popular as TOCs; however, not sure if it’s just me but I find them completely non-readable and when I see them I immediately skip the article 😅😅😅 Random example attached
It’s my new crystal baby😊
Well, a crystal structure of one the cyclocarbons alone would probably make quite a high-impact paper 😅
Weekend in Albania 🇦🇱
Yeah, maybe it’s so well separated that it doesn’t change much…. Here’s a look at the Ewald sphere. It says that the two domauns are related by 177deg rotation so maybe more of a split crystal rather than a proper twin? No idea, don’t have much experience with twinning cases
Struggling with a terrible twin refinement. Everything looks OK during processing and when adding data from second component to the refinement it just doesn’t change almost anything in the R values… 😓 And the dataset is quite good, with nicely separated reflections! #crystallography
Picked a big boy today. Not bad for something with molecular mass of 2500 😌
Diffraction spots
Action: retraction 😋
