A student is asking a good question: "Has the #isolated carbon(I) species featuring a #CarboneCationRadical truly been 'unambiguously established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction', given that the #EPR was done in THF?" 🤔🤔 nature.com/articles/s44... #crystallography #education

While prepping for group meeting, a student spotted a structure with R1 = 0.9813 (!) in pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... @ccdc.cam.ac.uk 😱 and used what he learned in #Chem255 to refine it to R1 < 0.06—after squeezing out mystery solvents. What an achievement! 🥳 #crystallography #education
