Description

The uncommonly used wavelength Cu K-beta showed significant improvement for the structural models of the metal-organic framework subgroup called 'sponge crystals'. The advantages towards the commonly used wavelength Cu K-alpha are a shorter wavelength and thus higher resolution with less elemental absorption and thus less background or sample decay. Cu K-beta also inherits no high-angle peak splitting. In this way, better crystallographic models can be obtained for the crystalline sponge method.
