Testing the limits of NMR crystallography: the case of caffeine-citric acid hydrate (2016)
Journal Article
Kerr, H. E., Mason, H. E., Sparkes, H. A., & Hodgkinson, P. (2016). Testing the limits of NMR crystallography: the case of caffeine-citric acid hydrate. CrystEngComm, 18(35), 6700-6707. https://doi.org/10.1039/c6ce01453d

The crystal structure of a new 1 : 2 caffeine–citric acid hydrate cocrystal is presented. The caffeine molecules are disordered over two positions, with the nature of the disorder confirmed to be static by 13C solid-state NMR. NMR linewidths in stati...

Visualization and processing of computed solid-state NMR parameters: MagresView and MagresPython (2016)
Journal Article
Sturniolo, S., Green, T., Hanson, R., Zilka, M., Refson, K., Hodgkinson, P., …Yates, J. (2016). Visualization and processing of computed solid-state NMR parameters: MagresView and MagresPython. Solid State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, 78, 64-70. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ssnmr.2016.05.004

We introduce two open source tools to aid the processing and visualisation of ab-initio computed solid-state NMR parameters. The Magres file format for computed NMR parameters (as implemented in CASTEP v8.0 and QuantumEspresso v5.0.0) is implemented....

Stray-field NMR diffusion q-space diffraction imaging of monodisperse coarsening foams (2016)
Journal Article
Smith, K., Burbidge, A., Apperley, D. C., Hodgkinson, P., Markwell, F. A., Topgaard, D., & Hughes, E. (2016). Stray-field NMR diffusion q-space diffraction imaging of monodisperse coarsening foams. Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 476, 20-28. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcis.2016.04.053

The technique of stray field diffusion NMR is adapted to study the diffusion properties of water in monodisperse wet foams. We show for the first time, that the technique is capable of observing q-space diffusion diffraction peaks in monodisperse aqu...

Furosemide’s One Little Hydrogen Atom: NMR Crystallography Structure Verification of Powdered Molecular Organics (2016)
Journal Article
Widdifield, C. M., Robson, H., & Hodgkinson, P. (2016). Furosemide’s One Little Hydrogen Atom: NMR Crystallography Structure Verification of Powdered Molecular Organics. Chemical Communications, 52(40), 6685-6688. https://doi.org/10.1039/c6cc02171a

The potential of NMR crystallography to verify molecular crystal structures deposited in structural databases is evaluated, with two structures of the pharmaceutical furosemide serving as examples. While the structures differ in the placement of one... Read More about Furosemide’s One Little Hydrogen Atom: NMR Crystallography Structure Verification of Powdered Molecular Organics.
