Circle Geometry and Time-Resolved Crystallography

Time-resolved crystallography has the ability to show the structure of reactants, intermediates, and products of a reaction. The images that arise often have patterns of circles in them. It may be possible to establish a link between the resultant images and circle geometry. By studying the Mobius group and other topics we hope to be able to explore this connection.
