This paper concisely describes capabilities of the 'Belok' beamline at the Kurchatov synchrotron radiation source, related to high-throughput small-molecule X-ray crystallography.As case examples, a series of four novel transition metal complexes with azomethine ligands were selected. The complexes demonstrate somewhat unexpected changes in the coordination geometry and nuclearity in response to the introduction of substituents in the ligand's periphery.
