This is the problem that I encounter quite often with science - you try to joke about something ridiculous, than finding out that that stuff was already done.
Rather flat surface, at least I am expecting it from coordination and disorder. So tried this version of the model and dropped it - clear overrefinement.
At least cordierite, zeolite A, natrolite and cetineite + solid Ar and Ar hydrate, and couple of new structure.
A structure of tetra-t-butyltetrahedrane argon clathrate
Another organic chemists - Hold my beer!
Organic chemists, writing “Ar” - What? Never heard about it.
I would not say that this refinement was unstable, it was rather dancing.

We have Physics Department in the same building, see the proof.
“Radium” candy with cyclopropane images on a package.
This lithium is a friend of this radium.
Yes, this is an actual candy.
Yesterday was a day of small molecules - 3 good structures, today was a day of macromolecules - a polypeptide and beta-cyclodextrin with some stuff inside.*
*Hopefully, otherwise we will have another high-quality dataset for hydrated bCD.

Congratulations!
That part was CLOSED!!! Because it was "cold" and "winter" = +12 °C and sun.
A fragment of the Garnet Room from Granatium museum, consisting from hexagonal tiles.
#BraggYourPattern from Granatium museum in Austria, a fragment of the Garnet Room wall.
You were moving to that direction :)
We applied Advanced Crystal Harvesting Instrument aka a longer spoon and determined that it is indeed a sucrose.

Radenthein in Austria.
Yes, I remember that I learned it from you about US and my reaction was “Whaaaat?”
A big model of red rhombic dodecahedron attached to a cliff near Granatium museum.
If your city does not have a huge red rhombic dodecahedron, I am not coming.

Proline from initial post- checked, stupid disorder every time.
Citrate - checked, can you just decide about your protonation state?
Shitty anion aka Tf₂N⁻ - checked, can you be disordered just over two positions and not more?
Here I agree.
A fragment of molecular structure containing disordered proline.
This is easy - that stupid ring that is too often disordered.
We (wife and me) hate it so much that we found a new polymorph of proline. And we didn't even wanted it.
A glass jar 🫙 labeled “crystallized 🍋 ”
I am pretty sure that these lemons are not crystallized - no long-range order.

A bike on a bridge over Maas river at Namur.
Summer is here, so back to biking. Take this, traffic jams.
Easier to point out who would not be triggered :) That is clearly US classification.
A food supplement label, claiming that it contain magnesium metal.
Li - not yet, but a food supplement with Mg you can buy in US. Not Mg something, just Mg metal in a food supplement (according to the label).
*from my carefully curated collection of WTF labels.
A form from Elsevier: What are your ethnic origins or ancestry? Select all geographic areas from which your ancestors first originated. Western Europe (e.g., Greece, Sweden, United Kingdom) Eastern Europe (e.g., Hungary, Poland, Russia) North Africa (e.g., Egypt, Morocco, Sudan) Sub-Saharan Africa (e.g., Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa) West Asia / Middle East (e.g., Iran, Israel, Saudi Arabia) South and Southeast Asia (e.g., India, Indonesia, Singapore) East and Central Asia (e.g., China, Japan, Uzbekistan) Pacific / Oceania (e.g., Australia, Fiji, Papua New Guinea) North America (Canada, United States) Central America and Caribbean (e.g., Jamaica, Mexico, Panama) South America (e.g., Brazil, Chile, Colombia) Self describe I prefer not to disclose
Elsevier: let the fight begins!
I have some questions about this form and even more about the next one, with a race question.
Times are not so desperate…
Hear hear, IUCr2029 @iucr2029.bsky.social is here!
A positive sign from the organizers of a very much awaited #crystallography congress that is getting closer and closer 🔥
Give it a nice 'Follow', fellow structural chemists 🤜✨🤛
Thanks! It corresponds to 15 year old, isn’t it?
