Highlights•electron diffraction allows for fully characterising nanocrystals.
•easy, fast and accurate molecular structure determination of nanometre particles.
•determination of the absolute configuration on enantiomorphs.
•crystal mapping can determine the presence of polymorphs.
•single-crystal studies will secure a broader protection of intellectual property.
AbstractElectron Diffraction (ED) is gaining momentum in science and industry. The application of ED for performing nanocrystallography is a disruptive innovation that is opening up fascinating new perspectives particularly for organic compounds required in the fields of chemical, pharmaceutical and advanced materials research.
