And here we have our Fourier transform nr. 58! As far as I'm concerned, perhaps the most enigmatic and unexpected spectrum so far... anyway, quite a spectacle! #BraggYourPattern #Fouriertransform #crystallography

I guess its a good time to reshare this onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1... - thanks Susumu for the great mentorship over the years. Finally the TV stations came for a good reason to your office!
Chemistry of Soft Porous Crystals: Structural Dynamics and Gas Adsorption Properties
Soft porous crystals (SPCs) can undergo cooperative stimuli-responsive structural transitions that strongly impact the physical properties and pore structure of the crystal. Hysteretic behavior and c...
