Aplicações tecnológicas da metodologia cristalográfica

Abstract

In order to know the molecular and crystalline structure of chemical compounds for further physical-chemical analysis and application studies, launches hand of crystallography as a scientific methodology that allows knowing the structure of any crystalline chemical compound without any a priori information. This methodology is based on concepts such as X-ray diffraction by crystalline materials, symmetry, Bragg’s law and Fourier transform. This work aims to present the main steps of crystallographic methodology, since the data collection from a single crystal, solution and refinement of structures until the steps of analysis and validation of crystallographic model, and deposit in appropriate crystallographic database.
