Synchrotron crystallography can be used to produce high-resolution molecular structures of organic molecules and frameworks.

X-ray crystallography has long been the fundamental technique used by chemists to determine 3D structures of organic and inorganic compounds. Synchrotrons provide high resolution structural models without the requirement of large single crystals and long acquisition times that many laboratory instruments require. This technique is very complementary to other structural techniques and can provide important information on the arrangement and orientation of organic structures and functional groups.
