_atom_site.disorder_group
Name:_atom_site.disorder_group
Alias:
_atom_site_disorder_group
Definition:
A code that identifies a group of positionally disordered atom
sites that are locally simultaneously occupied. Atoms that are
positionally disordered over two or more sites (e.g. the H
atoms of a methyl group that exists in two orientations) can
be assigned to two or more groups. Sites belonging to the same
group are simultaneously occupied, but those belonging to
different groups are not. A minus prefix (e.g. "-1") is used to
indicate sites disordered about a special position.
Examples:| 1 | unique disordered site in group 1 |
| 2 | unique disordered site in group 2 |
| -1 | symmetry-independent disordered site |
