Abstract:
Crystal structures of reactive short-lived species, as occurring during chemical reactions, can be determined through time-resolved crystallography or trapping approaches. Prerequisite is the initiation and characterization of the reaction in the crystal. Ways to do this, recent results, caveats, and future prospects are discussed.
