Submission Form

Please select a radiation source and data collection temperature for your sample. Default data collections will use Mo radiation and will be collected at 100K. If the absolute structure of a chiral compounds containing only light atoms (C, H, O, N) is needed, please select Cu radiation.

Samples that are stable to air, moisture, and temperature can be left in the X-ray facility to be analyzed. Those with samples that are sensitive to air, moisture, and/or temperature will be contacted via text or email with a time and date to bring down the sample. You will be asked to fill out a detailed form (chemical formula, molecular weight, list of solvents used in the reaction, purification, and crystallization steps) when the sample is brought to the facility or you can download the form here to fill out prior.

Those with samples that are time sensitive (decomposes in 1-2 days, re-submission for a journal, etc.) should contact the X-ray staff about moving ahead in the queue. To view the queue, please use the link below and sign in with your SAS email.
