Geological samples typically contain many minerals (phases) with multiple element compositions. A complete analytical description should give the number of phases present, the volume occupied by each phase in the bulk sample, the average and range of composition of each phase, and the bulk composition of the sample. A practical approach to providing such a complete description is from quantitative analysis of multi-elemental x-ray images.With the advances in recent years in the speed and storage capabilities of laboratory computers, large quantities of data can be efficiently manipulated. Commercial software and hardware presently available allow simultaneous collection of multiple x-ray images from a sample (up to 16 for the Kevex Delta system). Thus, high resolution x-ray images of the majority of the detectable elements in a sample can be collected. The use of statistical techniques, including principal component analysis (PCA), can provide insight into mineral phase composition and the distribution of minerals within a sample.

To unveil the activation of dioxygen on the copper centre (Cu<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>core) of tyrosinase, we performed X-ray crystallograpy with active-form tyrosinase at near atomic resolution. This study provided a novel insight into the catalytic mechanism of the tyrosinase, including the rearrangement of copper-oxygen species as well as the intramolecular migration of copper ion induced by substrate-binding.<br>

The crystal structures of 10-methylacridinium chloride monohydrate, bromide monohydrate and iodide were determined by X-ray analysis. The compounds crystallize in the triclinic space group, P¯1, with 2 molecules in the unit cell. The molecular arrangement in the crystals revealed that hydrogen bonds (in hydrates) and van der Waals contacts play a significant part in intermolecular interactions. To discover their nature, contributions to the crystal lattice energy arising from electrostatic (the most important since the compounds form ionic crystals), dispersive and repulsive interactions were calculated. Enthalpies of formation of the salts, their stability and susceptibility to decomposition could be predicted from a combination of crystal lattice energies with values of other thermochemical characteristics obtained theoretically or taken from the literature. The role of water in the stabilization of the crystal lattice of the hydrates is also explained. The information gathered has given an insight into the features and behaviour of compounds which can be regarded as models of a large group of aromatic quaternary nitrogen salts.

Abstract Iron oxides are fundamentally important compounds for basic and applied sciences as well as in numerous industrial applications. In this work we report the synthesis and investigation of a new binary iron oxide with the hitherto unknown stoichiometry of Fe7O9. This new oxide was synthesized at high-pressure high-temperature (HP-HT) conditions, and its black single crystals were successfully recovered at ambient conditions. By means of single crystal X-ray diffraction we determined that Fe7O9 adopts a monoclinic C2/m lattice with the most distorted crystal structure among the binary iron oxides known to date. The synthesis of Fe7O9 opens a new portal to exotic iron-rich (M,Fe)7O9 oxides with unusual stoichiometry and distorted crystal structures. Moreover, the crystal structure and phase relations of such new iron oxide groups may provide new insight into the cycling of volatiles in the Earth’s interior.
