61. Because of the small crystal size (0.3 × 0.04 × 0.04 mm) and its weak diffraction, this analysis could only be achieved with the high-intensity, microfocused source at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ID13 Microfocus Beamline). Diffraction patterns from crystals as small as 3 × 3 × <1 μm can be recorded and refined through the use of this unique tool. See: Gaillot, A. C.; Flot, D.; Drits, V.

The crystal was embedded with a cryoprotectant (Paratone-N from Hampton) and then taken in a nylon loop (from Hampton Research). Several crystals were tested to select a single crystal of suitable quality for data collection. Two data sets were collected by the oscillation technique (the first, 100 frames, each with an exposure time of 2 s and 6° oscillation; the second, 100 frames, each with an exposure time of 2 s and 4° oscillation), using a two-dimensional CCD detector at 45 mm and with the cryoloop axis approximately parallel to the oscillation axis. To probe only a homogeneous part of the needle-shaped crystal, the focused beam was reduced to 30 μm in diameter by using a beam-defining aperture. The measurement was carried out at a fixed temperature of 100(2) K by using an Oxford Cryostream device. The frames were indexed and the reflections integrated using the XDS software suite (Kabsch, W. J. Appl. Crystallogr. 1993, 26, 795-800). Each reflection intensity was corrected for intensity loss due to air absorption. The two data sets were merged with XSCALE.
