Applications of Synchrotron Radiation in Structural Inorganic Chemistry

4 Applications of Synchrotron Radiation in Structural Inorganic Chemistry 

The aim of this paper is not to give an exhaustive description of the applications in this field but rather to underline the main possibilities for the chemist involved in structural studies on bulk phases. 

This means, for example, the study of the three dimensional order on very small single crystals, phase transitions or transformations under physical or chemical factors of crystalline powders but also vitreous transition of glasses, large angle and small angle X-ray scattering (LAXS—SAXS) of amorphous phases, liquids or coordination complexes in solution.
