At half the SDPD (Structure Determination by Powder Diffractometry) round robin 3 : 123 data downloads and 3 solution submissions.
A few other relevant numbers: ~40,000 crystal structures published per year, ~200 SDPDs per year, >10 software able to solve a structure from powder data (meaning that 3 maximum are successful up to now), >650 subscribers to the SDPD mailing list http://www.cristal.org/sdpd/ (do they really need 3 years on average to solve one of these 200 SDPDs ?). Deadline : Wednesday 30th April 2008. http://sdpd.univ-lemans.fr/SDPDRR3/ The organizers (Armel Le Bail & Lachlan Cranswick) ------------------------------- ----------------------- Lachlan M. D.
