“…34,35 A total of six diffraction measurements were carried out between 1.26 to 6.67 GPa using a Bruker-Nonius APEX II diffractometer following the collection strategy of Dawson et al 36 Single-crystal diffraction data between 4.0 and 22.3 GPa were measured at room temperature on Beamline 12.2.2 at the Advanced Light Source in Berkeley, California, USA, which has been described in detail elsewhere. 37,38 Crystals measuring ca. 50 μm 3 were cut from larger single crystals and mounted with a ruby sphere in a BX-90 type DAC 39 consisting of 500 μm Boehler-Almax cut diamonds mounted in tungsten-carbide backing seats.…”

“…A major redesign of beamline 11.3.1 at ALS was undertaken in 2006 by Simon Teat after his considerable contributions to the construction, commissioning and subsequent operation of station 9.8 at SRS followed by a brief spell as Principal Beamline Scientist leading the design of DLS beamline I19. The new ALS beamline, positioned on a bending magnet, closely followed the principles and practice of station 9.8 with a commercial CCD-based goniometer and detector system and it has been enormously productive with a large international community of users [10]; the beamline website lists around 80 publications annually in recent years (http://chemcryst.lbl.gov/publications-1, accessed on 13 November 2018).…”

A historical account is given of the 25-year development of dedicated synchrotron beamlines for single-crystal diffraction as applied to the so-called small-molecule fields of chemistry and materials science. Designs have drawn on previous successful models in macromolecular crystallography, with appropriate modifications in view of the different properties and behaviour of the respective sample types. Key factors in making these facilities attractive and productive for users include familiarity of operational procedures and the availability of experimental techniques and features normally found in local chemical crystallography laboratories, especially for the handling of samples and processing of diffraction data. Beamlines dedicated to single-crystal diffraction rather than shared with other techniques can be optimized for effective and efficient use. The experience gained from the original design, development and exploitation of stations 9.8 and 16.2SMX at the Daresbury Laboratory Synchrotron Radiation Source and beamline 11.3.1 at the Advanced Light Source have led to highly productive current facilities at ALS beamline 12.2.1 and Diamond Light Source beamline I19, including the recent introduction of remote-access operation. Such facilities have generated and continue to provide major impact in academic and commercial research that could otherwise not be achieved, including patents and applications in pharmaceuticals, energy and gas storage systems, and government policy. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Fifty years of synchrotron science: achievements and opportunities’.

Evolutionary selection in nature has led to hierarchical structuring as a fundamental optimization strategy for biological structures, maximizing functional performance while minimizing resource usage. Precise hierarchical organization of natural materials over a wide range of length scales gives rise to unique synergistic properties that could not be achieved by single components. Despite the clear advantages offered by hierarchically structuring matter, mastering hierarchical control based on the current synthetic toolbox is still a challenge. In this review, some recent advancements in the fabrication of hierarchical metal organic framework (MOF) materials are highlighted and the advantages that arise due to different kinds of MOF hierarchy are critically analyzed. The special focus of the review lies in highlighting the applications where MOF hierarchical materials can be most impactful and describing characterization techniques currently at the disposal of scientists for the precise characterization of MOF hierarchical structures across all length scales. Finally, the intent is to inspire reticular chemists to master hierarchical control of MOF materials so as to fully utilize the advantages MOFs offer for various applications.
