Gas electron diffraction (GED) is a technique used to study the molecular structure of gas-phase samples by examining the scattering of electrons as they pass through a gas. It can be particularly useful for obtaining information about small molecules, radicals, and other transient species that may not have a stable crystalline form or that would be difficult to study using traditional X-ray crystallography.
