    CRYSTALLOGRAPHY

The researchers of the Crystallography and X-ray Diffraction Laboratory were the core around which the CSIC created in the year 1986 the Institut de Ciència de Materials de Barcelona (ICMAB)

About us

This group was the primary seed of ICMAB and, in many cases, other groups of the Institute grew from this group

The current research fields of the laboratory derive from its deep knowledge on structural crystallography and from the corresponding structure-property relationships. New concepts and procedures have been developed during the years as new Patterson search methods or efficient and robust algorithms for phase refinement by direct methods which have been extended to powder diffraction. The study of the topology of experimental electron densities led to a deeper understanding of the hydrogen bond.
