Join us for a free 45-minute webinar exploring how desolvation techniques can be used to generate new crystal forms across a wide range of materials.
Understanding and controlling structural diversity—including polymorphs, solvates, and hydrates—is crucial in crystallography and has major implications for materials science and pharmaceutical development. Desolvation processes such as dehydration provide a powerful pathway to access previously unknown structures and phases.
This session brings together three experts from leading Polish research institutions, combining expertise in organic, inorganic, and hybrid systems, to present real-world examples of desolvation-driven transformations
What You’ll Learn:
- How desolvation enables discovery of new crystal forms
- Mechanisms of dehydration-induced structural transformations
- Differences between SC-to-SC and non-single-crystal processes
- Applications in organic, inorganic, and hybrid materials
- Use of SC-XRD, variable-temperature PXRD, and 3D electron diffraction
- How structural changes affect supramolecular organization and material properties
Meet the Speakers:
Katarzyna Ślepokura
Associate Professor and Head of Crystallography, University of Wrocław
An expert in supramolecular chemistry and phosphorus-based compounds, her research explores how structural variations influence chemical and physical properties in biologically relevant systems.
Vasyl Kinzhybalo
Assistant Professor, Institute of Low Temperature and Structure Research, PAS
His work focuses on structural design and analysis of hypodiphosphates, with particular emphasis on dehydration-driven formation of new solid-state ionic conductors.
Oskar Kaszubowski
Ph.D. Candidate, University of Wrocław
Specializing in nucleosides and nucleotides, his research investigates structural transformations and phase behavior in complex organic systems, including pharmaceutical analogues.
