The data value must be one of the following:


rm
'reference molecule' Absolute configuration established by the structure determination of a compound containing a chiral reference molecule of known absolute configuration.

ad
'anomalous dispersion' Absolute configuration established by a-d effects in diffraction measurements on the crystal.

rmad
'rm + ad' Absolute configuration established by the structure determination of a compound containing a chiral reference molecule of known absolute configuration and confirmed by a-d effects in diffraction measurements on the crystal.

syn
'synthetic' Absolute configuration has not been established by anomalous-dispersion effects in diffraction measurements on the crystal. The enantiomer has been assigned by reference to an unchanging chiral centre in the synthetic procedure.

unk
'unknown' No firm chemical or a-d evidence for an assignment is available. An arbitrary choice of enantiomer has been made.
