How to Use Pore Analyser in Mercury

Описание: This video introduces the free Pore Analyser tool in CCDC’s Mercury and the results that it can provide when analysing porous materials, including prediction of total and network-accessible volumes and areas. We will demonstrate how to run Pore Analyser using an example of a metal-organic framework structure and a porous molecular crystal and see how to edit a structure and predict the effects of this on its pore properties. To download the free version of Mercury see: https://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/solutions/...

To view the structures used in this video, you can type the following refcodes in the structure navigator, or download the CIF files from Access Structures (https://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/structures/): ABAVIJ and MAHPOD.
