Pairwise distribution function (PDF) can be a very useful tool for pharmaceutical professionals, especially when characterizing active pharmaceutical ingredients.
Using total diffraction and PDF analysis you can confirm — and even solve — the molecular structure of new materials in non-crystalline states in addition to characterizing the local molecular order.
In this episode, Simon Bates, VP of Science and Technology at Rigaku, shares why PDF and total diffraction combined together are so powerful in confirming molecular structures and why they are opening the door to new materials in pharmaceutics.
