Category TWIN_REFLN

Name:
'_twin_refln_[]'

Definition:

   
    Items in the TWIN_REFLN category tabulate the calculated values of F^2^ 
    for each peak observed in the diffraction pattern, 
    together with the measured value of F^2^.
    The calculated F^2^ for an observed peak is a weighted sum 
    of the contribution of all the twin components.
    The calculated structure factor for each twin contribution can also
    be given.

Examples:

This partial listing describes seven observed diffraction peaks in a four-individual twin by non-merohedry. The reference individual is 1. Reflections from the other three individuals 2, 3 and 4 are present only if these cannot be experimentally separated from the reference individual.

This example is taken from Colombo Young & Gladfelter [Inorg. Chem. (2000), 39, 4621-4624]. Two structures of nitronium tetranitratogallate are reported as a result of an enantiotropic phase transition. The higher-temperature phase is in the tetragonal space group I-4, while the lower-temperature phase is a twin by non-merohedry in space group I2. The individuals are enantiomorphic as a result of the phase transition. In the listing it is clear that datums 620-624 do not contain overlapping reflections, whereas datums 625-629 contain contributions from both twins.
