Session 1

What is Quantum Crystallography?

The purpose of this introductory talk is to find answers to the title, by provoking the audience and the speakers with some fundamental questions of what is the inner connection between crystals and quantum mechanics? what is a quantum crystal?

Quantitative and Qualitative Analyses of Symmetry Independent C–F⋯F–C Interaction and C-H⋯F–C Hydrogen Bonds in a Biologically Potent Isoquinoline Derivative: Insights from Charge Density Analysis

Intermolecular interactions offered by halogens are versatile, unpredictable, and mostly stabilizing. Among the halogens, the interactions offered by fluorine deserve special attention

From Frames to Intensity Data

Data collection on single crystals starts with recording raw diffraction images (data frames). These ‘raw’ data frames have usually already been corrected for spatial distortions and non-uniformities of the detector response.
