The Bruker CCD X-Ray Diffractometer is a single crystal diffractometer equipped with a CCD area dector and low temperature (liquid nitrogen stream) device. The X-ray optics consist of the Mo Kα radiation, Ge momochromator and a MonoCap collimator. The resulting X-ray wavelength is 0.71073 Å. The instrument can be used to determine structures of organic, inorganic, organometallic molecules and extended solids.
The structure of La7Sb11Br4 determined by the diffractometer:
