Dear COMCIFS The Core Dictionary Management Group proposes a number of additions to the core dictionary and a few minor revisions to existing content, and requests the voting members of COMCIFS to approve these changes. The changes are summarised below (the additional data items are listed explicitly). The discussions of the coreDMG are available at http://www.iucr.org/iucr-top/lists/coredmg/index.html This draft has been approved following technical review by the Dictionary Review Committee, who recommend that COMCIFS formally approve this release. All members of this mailing list are welcome to comment on the draft, but VOTING MEMBERS (I. D. Brown, H. M. Berman, H. J. Bernstein, R. W. Grosse-Kunstleve, S. R. Hall, G. Madariaga, B. McMahon and J. Westbrook) ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A FORMAL VOTE for or against the new version. PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR VOTE BY JANUARY 20th 2008. A complete draft of the dictionary incorporating these revisions may be inspected at ftp://ftp.iucr.org/cifdics/draft_cif_core_2.4.dic with formatted versions (PDF and HTML respectively) at ftp://ftp.iucr.org/cifdics/draft_core2.4.pdf http://www.iucr.org/iucr-top/cif/cifdic_html/1/cif_core_draft2.4.dic/index.html If this version is approved, the relevant Chapters of International Tables for Crystallography Volume G (Online) will be updated to reflect and describe the new content.

Note that all the atoms that give rise to a particular distributed density, e.g. a ring, should be included in the ATOM_SITE list, even when they, or the centroid of the distribution, lie on a special position. That is, the crystallographic site symmetry of the distribution is not used to generate the full distributed density shape from the crystallographic asymmetric portion. The value of _atom_site_symmetry_multiplicity should be chosen so that for each of the atoms in the ATOM_SITE list (_atom_site_occupancy)*(_atom_site_symmetry_multiplicity) is equal to its contribution to (_chemical_formula_sum)*(_cell_formula_units_Z). ; data_chemical_enantioexcess_bulk _name '_chemical_enantioexcess_bulk' _category chemical _type numb _type_conditions esd _enumeration_range 0.0:1.0 _units . _units_detail dimensionless _definition ; The enantioexcess of the bulk material from which the crystals were grown.

In this example pentamethyl cyclopentadiene (Cp*) and borazole occupy the same location in the crystal in the ratio 5:1. The atoms of the borazole ring are fixed as are three quarters of the atoms in the Cp* ring, but the remaining quarter of the Cp* molecules are freely rotating around the cylindrical Cp* axis. The rotating Cp* molecules give rise to two concentric rings of density, one from the atoms in the ring and the other from the methyl groups (hydrogen atoms are ignored). On top of these rings lie the atoms of the fixed Cp* molecules. The atoms of the borazole molecule also lie over the inner Cp* ring. Full details of the chemical composition are given in the ATOM_SITE loop together with the positions of the fixed atoms. The coordinates of the atoms that give rise to the distributed ring of density are set to '.', meaning that they have no significance as the atoms are dummy atoms. They are included to give the correct composition when _atom_site_occupancy and _atom_site_symmetry_multiplicity are given. The composition defined in the ATOM_SITE loop is linked to the DISTRIBUTED_DENSITY loop through the parent-child identifiers, 'an1' and 'an2' (for annulus 1 and 2). The one quarter of the Cp* molecules that are rotating have the occupation number of 0.208 = 2/24 = 5/6 (the total occupancy of the Cp*) x 1/4 (the portion rotating). The three quarters that are in fixed positions have the occupation number of 0.625 = 15/24 = 5/6 x 3/4. ; # - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - _definition ; Data items in the distributed_density category describe the geometric arrangement of an atom or atoms when they are distributed uniformly over a line or surface such as a ring, cylindrical shell or spherical shell, the line or surface being given a thickness through the application of an atomic displacement parameter. ; data_distributed_density_details _name '_distributed_density_details' _category distributed_density _type char _list both _list_reference '_distributed_density_id' _example ; The distribution was modelled using a disc of density of the given radius. ; _definition ; Information about the distribution of density not given in other items. ; data_distributed_density_direction_ loop_ _name '_distributed_density_direction_h' '_distributed_density_direction_k' '_distributed_density_direction_l' _category distributed_density _type numb _type_conditions esd _list both _list_reference '_distributed_density_id' _units rlu _units_detail 'reciprocal lattice units' _definition ; The (covariant) components on a reciprocal-lattice basis of a vector of arbitrary length used to indicate the direction of the unique axis of the distribution, e.g. the axis of a cylindrical shell or the normal to the plane of a ring. ; data_distributed_density_id _name '_distributed_density_id' _category distributed_density _type char _list both _list_mandatory yes _list_link_child '_atom_site_distributed_density_id' _definition ; An identifier that links the atom defined by _atom_site_label with a distributed density defined in the DISTRIBUTED_DENSITY category. ; data_distributed_density_length _name '_distributed_density_length' _category distributed_density _type numb _type_conditions esd _list both _list_reference '_distributed_density_id' _enumeration_range 0.0: _units A _units_detail 'Angstrom units' _definition ; The length of the line or cylindrical shell of distributed density in angstroms. ; data_distributed_density_position_ loop_ _name '_distributed_density_position_x' '_distributed_density_position_y' '_distributed_density_position_z' _category distributed_density _type numb _type_conditions esd _list both _list_reference '_distributed_density_id' _definition ; The position of the centroid of the distributed density in fractions of the unit cell values. ; data_distributed_density_radius _name '_distributed_density_radius' _category distributed_density _type numb _type_conditions esd _list both _list_reference '_distributed_density_id' _enumeration_range 0.0: _units A _units_detail 'Angstrom units' _definition ; The radius of the ring, or of the cylindrical or spherical shell, of distributed density in angstroms. ; data_distributed_density_shape _name '_distributed_density_shape' _category distributed_density _type char _list both _list_reference '_distributed_density_id' loop_ _enumeration _enumeration_detail line 'line segment' infline ; infinite line running through the crystal ; ring 'circular ring' cylshell ; cylindrical shell of finite length ; infcylshell ; cylindrical shell running through the crystal ; sphereshell 'spherical shell' other ; give details in _distributed_density_details ; _definition ; A flag that indicates the shape of the distributed density. The lines and ring are one-dimensional distributions of atoms and the cylindrical shell and spherical shell are two-dimensional distributions.

It is the number that appears in International Tables for Crystallography Vol. A (2002) for the Wyckoff position occupied by the centroid. In this treatment the symmetry of the distribution itself is ignored, including any operations of its point group that are part of the crystallographic site symmetry of the centroid. All the atoms that give rise to the distributed density should therefore be listed in the ATOM_SITE category even if they, or the centroid of the distribution, lie on crystallographic special positions. For example, if the distribution is a ring and the centroid of the ring lies on a crystallographic mirror plane, all the atoms in the ring are listed if the ring lies either in or perpendicular to the mirror plane since the mirror image of the ring lies over the ring itself. If the ring is at some arbitrary angle to the mirror plane, the mirror generates a second ring and both rings should be described independently. However, because both rings cannot be simultaneously occupied, the occupation numbers given in the ATOM_SITE category must have a value equal to or less than 0.5. ; data_distributed_density_Uiso _name '_distributed_density_Uiso' _category distributed_density _type numb _type_conditions esd _list both _list_reference '_distributed_density_id' _enumeration_range 0.0: _units A^2^ _units_detail 'Angstrom units squared' _example 0.018(3) _definition ; The factor exp(-Ux^-2^) is applied to all parts of the distribution, where U = _distributed_density_Uiso and x is the distance from the ideal one- or two-dimensional shape.
