The present invention provides a novel method for identifying a molecular structure by single crystal X-ray analysis. A single crystal that gives an X-ray diffraction spectrum sufficient for determining the structure of the molecule can be efficiently obtained by including a test molecule in a metal complex and then crystallizing the test-molecule-including metal complex. By analyzing this single crystal by X-ray analysis, it is possible to determine the structure of the test molecule without obtaining a single crystal of the test molecule. With the method according to the present invention, the structure of a test molecule in a trace amount of sample can also be determined.

The present application discloses a crystal of oxidized glutathione dication salt and a method of producing the same.

The disclosure provides redispersible CNC. The CNC disclosed herein is redispersible in non-polar and polar organic solvents as well as polar and non-polar polymers such as polyethylene or polypropylene. The disclosure surprisingly also provides redispersible CNC bearing improved redispersion in aqueous systems and most particularly in high ionic strength aqueous systems which usually require significant mixing energy to achieve dispersion.
