Brief description Advanced X-ray facility for structural elucidation and photocrystallography. This project aims to establish an advanced photocrystallography X-ray facility. Accurately determining molecular structure and understanding how molecules interact with light is important to design and optimise new materials. Normally, measurements to elucidate these properties have to be done separately, making structure-property correlations difficult. The facility will allow the creation of new materials with application in pharmaceuticals, separation science, organic optoelectronics and magnetic materials. The facility will build capacity in X-ray techniques, create collaborations and provide a unique training ground for students and Early Career Researchers. The advances in materials innovation will strengthen the future viability of Australian industries and manufacturing innovation.
