Dear all,

 

I was also contacted by David Watkin about the flack parameter and have some statistics on the presence of some of the absolute structure fields in CIFs in the CSD.

 

I have extracted the number of CIFs where particular fields are included (for structures in CSD up to October 2019 where has a CIF – approximately 750,000) (table attached to this email).

 

I am currently looking at the content of some of these fields to assess if it is possible to identify the type of parameter (flack, hooft, parsons etc.) from information in the _refine_ls_abs_structure_details field. It is looking like a number of different parameters are being reported in the _refine_ls_abs_structure_Flack field (and there are cases where another parameter is reported in that field too e.g. a value for hooft).

 

I have had a brief look at the Rogers field and approximately 180 of the 1834 CIFs which include the Rogers field have a numerical value in the field. There are very small number of CIFs (~10) including this parameter from papers published in the last few years.

 

Best wishes,

 

Natalie

All,

 

This is indeed a longstanding issue.

With SHELXL, the CIF dataname 'Flack' is 'overloaded' with its real source (i.e. refined and applied, or post-refinement and not applied) to be gleaned from text items (e.g. the embedded .ins file and 'details' text)

 

I think that the Rogers parameter can be retired.

 

Best wishes

Mike

Thanks for sending this - my "to do" list isn't getting anywhere very
fast at the moment.

Brian
