In this video, Aimee LeBrun demonstrates how to measure intermolecular and intramolecular distances, angles, and torsion in molecules and crystal structures using the CCDC's visualisation software Mercury. This functionality could be used in the study of molecular geometry, and interactions in the solid form, such as hydrogen bonds.
Measuring distances, angles, and torsions functionality is available in the free version of the visualization software Mercury. Find  out more and download free Mercury here: 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 these CIF files from Access Structures (https://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/structures/): ABAHUI and HXACAN for the demonstration, and HOFGEO, ABAGIV, GUKTUD and IBPRAC for the suggested exercises.
