International cooperation in intensity data collection
The Commission on Small Molecules of the IUCr(SCM) has a program to
establish contacts between crystallographers lacking state-of-the-art
facilities for intensity data collection and crystallographers having
the capability of collecting at least one intensity data set per year
to assist those in need.
Requests for assistance in X-ray crystallographic intensity data
collection through the auspices of the CSM must be accompanied by a
three-part application.
Part 1 - The Project
A. Structure for which data collection is requested including
chemical drawing and toxicity data and information on quality,
stability, and cell dimensions of the crystals.
B. Potential significance of the result. What question will be
answered?
C. Long range objective and significance of the project related
to this structure.
D. Previous X-ray studies conducted as part of the project or
related to this project in the applicant's laboratory or other
laboratories.
Part 2 - The Laboratory
A. Current staffing, in particular, how many crystallographers
in residence. Who is responsible for training in crystallography
and supervision of crystallographic facilities and instruments,
if any?
B. X-ray diffraction facilities available within institute.
C. Age and condition of any diffractometers in the institute or
university of the applicant.
Part 3 - The Applicant
A. Education.
B. Crystallographic training and/or experience.
C. Publications
D. Funding or support.
Publication Policy
The recipient of the data and the supplier are to establish
between themselves policies concerning the publication of
results from the cooperative project.
