Microcrystal electron diffraction (MicroED) has established its complementary role alongside X-ray diffraction in crystal structure elucidation. Unfortunately, kinematical refinement of MicroED data lacks the differentiation power to assign the absolute structure solely based on the measured intensities. Here we report a method for absolute configuration determination MicroED by employing salt formation with chiral counterions.
微晶体电子衍射(MicroED)已经在晶体结构解析中确立了其与 X 射线衍射相辅相成的地位。不幸的是,基于动力学的 MicroED 数据精修缺乏区分能力,仅根据测量强度无法确定绝对结构。在这里,我们报告了一种通过与手性抗衡离子形成盐来确定 MicroED 绝对构型的方法。
