Next-Generation MOF Research Powered by Rigaku Diffraction Instrumentation

We’re excited to share the recording of our fifth MOFspace Webinar, held on 3 March 2026!

In this webinar, our speakers demonstrated how advanced diffraction methodologies—combining X-ray diffraction (XRPD, SCX) and three-dimensional electron diffraction (3DED)—enable reliable structure determination for metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) that are difficult to study using conventional approaches.

Through practical workflows and real experimental case studies, participants learned how state-of-the-art Rigaku instrumentation supports robust and reproducible structural solutions in modern MOF research.

You’ll learn about:
⚡ Complementary use of X-ray and electron diffraction for complex MOFs
🔬 Structure-solution workflows: indexing, space-group determination, model searching, and Rietveld refinement
🧪 Case studies on flexible and poorly crystalline frameworks, including MFU-4-type materials
🧩 How advanced diffraction accelerates rational design of next-generation porous materials

If you missed it or want to revisit the discussion, you can now watch the full recording below and continue learning from this inspiring talk.
