SPring-8 has played an important role in chemical research by providing detailed crystal structure analyses. Thanks to introducing the latest diffractometers, developments of methodologies, and devoted efforts of beamline scientists, chemists have enjoyed their own science by using SPring-8. This report presents several examples of outstanding research in chemistry generated by the use of SPring-8 in the last 10 years and also sheds light on promising methodologies for chemical research in powder diffraction measurements developed in SPring-8.
