Crystals ManualChapter 4: Initial Data Input
[Top] [Index] Manuals generated on Wednesday 8 November 2006 4.1: Scope of the Initial Data Input section.The areas covered are: Abbreviated startup command QUICKSTART Input of the cell parameters LIST 1 Input of the unit cell parameter errors LIST 31 Input of the space group symmetry information SPACEGROUP Alternative input of the symmetry information LIST 2 Input of molecular contents COMPOSITION Input of the atomic scattering factors LIST 3 Input of the contents of the unit cell LIST 29 Input of the crystal and data collection details LIST 13 Input of general crystallographic data LIST 30 [Top] [Index] Manuals generated on Wednesday 8 November 2006 4.2: Abbreviated startup command - QUICKSTARTThe command QUICKSTART is provided to assist in migration from other systems to CRYSTALS. It requires that data reduction (section 5.14) has already been done or that a simple 4-circle Lp correction be suitable, and that the reflection data are available in a fixed format file with one reflection per line. This command expands the given data into standard CRYSTALS lists, as described elsewhere in the manuals. The user is free to overwrite LISTS created by QUICKSTART by entering new LISTS manually. \QUICKSTART SPACEGROUP SYMBOL= CONTENTS FORMULA= FILE NAME= FORMAT EXPRESSION= DATA WAVELENGTH= REFLECTIONS= RATIO= CELL A= B= C= ALPHA= BETA= GAMMA= END

\QUICKSTART
None of the directives may be omitted, though some parameters do have default values. CONTINUE directives may not be used. SPACEGROUP SYMBOL=
This directive generates symmetry information from the spacegroup symbol. The syntax is exactly as describe for the command SPACEGROUP, given in section 4.7. SYMBOL=
There is no default for the symbol, it should be a valid H-M space group
symbol, e.g. 'P 21 21 21' or 'P 21/c' or 'I -4 3 m'. Use spaces to
separate each of the operators.
CONTENTS FORMULA=
This directive takes the contents of the UNIT CELL (cf LIST 29 - section 4.15) and generates scattering factors (LIST 3 - section 4.11) and elemental properties (LIST 29 - section 4.15). FORMULA=
The formula for the UNIT CELL contents
(NOT ASYMMETRIC UNIT - for compatibility with SIR92)
is given as a list with entries of the type
'element name' 'number of atoms' e.g. CONTENT FORMULA = C 24 H 36 O 8 N 4
The items in the list must be separated by at least one space. The
number of atoms may be fractional or, if omitted, they
default to 1.0.
FILE NAME=
This directive associates the file containing the reflections with the program. The special name 'COMMANDS' causes reflection data to be read from the command stream. The reflections MUST then be terminated with an 'h' value of -512, otherwise the end-of-file is sufficient. NAME=
The name of the file containing the reflections. The
syntax of the name must conform to the computers operating system. See
the IMMEDIATE command \SET FILE for case sensitive systems.
FORMAT EXPRESSION=
This directive controls the reading of the reflection list. The reflection file must contain the following items in the order given. Only one reflection is permitted per line. See \LIST 6 for more flexible input (section 5.3) h k l F and optionally sigma(F)
F and sigma(F) may be replaced by I or F-squared. EXPRESSION=
The expression is a normal FORTRAN format expression, including the
open and close parentheses.
The descriptor 'nX' may be used to skip unwanted
columns. The indices may be I or F format.
There is no default expression.
DATA WAVELENGTH= REFLECTIONS= RATIO=
WAVELENGTH=
The wavelength, in Angstroms, used in selecting elemental properties. The
default is 0.7107 (Molybdenum K-alpha radiation).
REFLECTIONS=
A keyword to indicate whether the input data is F, F-squared or I.
FOBS - Default, indicating F values being input. FSQUARED - Indicating F squared values being input. I - Indicating intensity values being input.
If REFLECTIONS equals I, then an Lp correction is done assuming four circle geometry. Note that the reflections from modern diffractometers are unlikely to be stored as FOBS. Some old X-ray data and neutron data may still be given as FOBS. RATIO=
The minimum ratio of I/sigma(I) to be used in selecting reflections.
Default is 3.0

\SPACEGROUP
SYMBOL EXPRESSION=
This directive is used to specify the space group symbol. EXPRESSION=
The value of this parameter is the text making up the spacegroup
symbol. At least one
space character should appear between each of the axis symbols
in the spacegroup symbol. e.g.
Use P 21 3 rather than P 213, P2 1 3, or P2 13
Failure to put spaces in the correct place in the symbol will lead to misinterpretation. Rhombohedral cells are always assumed to be on hexagonal indexing.
AXIS UNIQUE=
This directive specifies the unique axis orientation for monoclinic spacegroups where the symbol specified contains only one axis symbol (short symbol). In other cases any information specified with this directive is ignored. UNIQUE=
A B C GENERATE - the default value.
When UNIQUE has the value A, B, or C the program uses the 'a',
'b', or 'c' axis respectively as the unique axis.
When UNIQUE
has the value GENERATE, the program will attempt to select the
unique axis on the basis of the cell parameters currently stored in
LIST 1. If this is not possible, because the angles in LIST 1
are all close too 90 degrees or there is no valid cell parameter
information, the program will assume that the unique axis is
'b'.

Direct input of this list enables the user to specify explicitly the symmetry operators to be used. The advantage of this is that they need not comply to any standard convention - the only check made by the program is to ensure that the determinant is not zero. For example, this technique may be used to enter a set of symmetry operators that contains a translation of a half along an axis - normally that cell length would be halved instead, but it may be useful in order to work consistently with a structure that undergoes a cell-doubling phase transition. \LIST 2 CELL NSYMMETRIES= LATTICE= CENTRIC= SYMMETRY X= Y= Z= SPACEGROUP LATTICE= A-AXIS= B-AXIS= C-AXIS= CLASS NAME= END

The CELL directive defines the Bravais lattice type, the number of equivalent positions to be input, and whether the cell is centric or acentric. The equivalent positions are defined by SYMMETRY directives, which contain one equivalent position each, and must follow the CELL directive. The equivalent positions input should not include those related by a centre of symmetry if the lattice is defined as centric, and should not include those related by non-primitive lattice translations if the correct Bravais lattice type is given. Positions generated by the last two operations are computed by the system. The unit matrix, defining x, y, z, MUST ALWAYS be input. If a centric cell is used in a setting which does not place the centre at the origin, then ALL the operators must be given and the cell be treated as non-centric. This will of course increase the time for structure factor calculations. Rhombohedral cells can be treated in two ways. If used with
rhombohedral indexing (a=b=c, alpha=beta=gamma), the lattice type is P,
primitive.
If used with hexagonal indexing, the lattice type is R.
\LIST 2
CELL NSYMMETRIES= LATTICE= CENTRIC=
NSYMMETRIES=
This defines the number of SYMMETRY directives that are to follow.
There is no default.
LATTICE=
This defines the Bravais lattice type, and must take
one of the following values :
P - Default value. I R F A B C
CENTRIC=
This parameter defines whether the cell is centric or acentric, and must
take one of the values :
NO YES - The default value.
SYMMETRY X= Y= Z=
This directive is repeated NSYMMETRIES times, and each separate occurrence
defines one equivalent position in the unit cell.
The parameter keywords X , Y and Z are normally omitted on this
directive, and the equivalent position typed up exactly
as given in international tables.
The expressions may contain any of the following :
+X or -X +Y or -Y +Z or -Z + or - a fractional shift.
SPACEGROUP LATTICE= A-AXIS= B-AXIS= C-AXIS=
This directive inputs the space group symbol, and is optional for the
correct working of CRYSTALS. However, some foreign programs need
the symbol as input data, and they will extract it from this record.
The keywords LATTICE, A-AXIS etc are normally omitted, and the full
space group symbol given with spaces between the operators, e.g.
SPACEGROUP P 1 21/C 1
CLASS NAME=
This directive inputs the crystal class. It is not used by CRYSTALS, but is
required for cif files.

This directive describes properties that relate to the whole
crystal.
CRYSTAL FRIEDELPAIRS= TWINNED= SPREAD=
FRIEDELPAIRS=
This parameter defines whether Friedel's law should be used during
\SYSTEMATIC in
data reduction. It should be set to NO for high accuracy or absolute
structure determinations. If omitted, Friedel's law will be used.
YES - default value. NO
TWINNED=
This parameter is used during refinement to indicate
whether the twin laws should be used. It is automatically updated
if twinned reflection data is input.
NO - Default value. YES
SPREAD=
This parameter defines the type of mosaic spread in the crystal.
This information is used during the calculation of an extinction
correction.
GAUSSIAN - Default value. Suitable for X-rays LORENTZIAN - Suitable for Neutrons
DIFFRACTION GEOMETRY= RADIATION=
This directive defines the experimental conditions used to collect the data. GEOMETRY=
This defines the type of data collection method used
to measure the raw intensities, and determines the type of Lp
correction.
NORMAL - Normal beam Weissenberg geometry. EQUI - Equi-inclination Weissenberg geometry. ANTI - Anti-equi-inclination Weissenberg geometry. PRECESSION CAD4 - Nonius CAD4 diffractometer, Eulerian angles. KAPPA - Nonius CAD4 in kappa geometry. ROLLETT - Abstract machine, see page 28 , Computing Methods in Crystallography. Y290 - Hilger-Watts Y290 4-Circle diffractometer. NONE - Default.
RADIATION=
This parameter defines the type of radiation used to collect the
data.
XRAYS - Default value NEUTRONS
CONDITIONS WAVELENGTH= THETA(1)= THETA(2)= CONSTANTS . .
This directive describes the conditions that were used when the data were collected. CONSTANTS is short for four constants. CONSTANT(1)= CONSTANT(2)= CONSTANT(3)= CONSTANT(4)=
WAVELENGTH=
This defines the wavelength of the radiation used to collect
the data.
If omitted, a default value of 0.71073 is assumed,(Mo k-alpha).
THETA(1)=
This defines the Bragg angle of the monochromator.
If omitted, a default of 6.05 is assumed, indicating
that a monochromator was used with Mo radiation
THETA(2)=
This defines the angle between the plane of the
monochromator and the diffracting planes of the crystal.
If this parameter is omitted, a default value of 90 is assumed.
This value is not used if THETA(1) is zero.
Since the angle THETA(2) is fixed, the Lp correction computed
using these constants is correct only for experiments where THETA(2)
is a constant.
This is true for equatorial geometry experiments, but is not true
for equipment that uses Weissenberg or precession geometry.
CONSTANT(1)= CONSTANT(2)= CONSTANT(3)= CONSTANT(4)=
These four parameters are used to input fundamental constants
for the diffractometer used to collect the data.
How many of the constants, and what values they should have are
determined by the equipment and its setting.
To determine the values required, consult your local diffractometer
expert.
The default values for c(1), c(2) and c(3) are the Nonius CAD4 GONCON
constants, and c(4) is the theta value for the change from
bisecting to fixed chi mode (and has a value of 90 degrees).
These constants are important when machine geometry dependent
calculations are made - for example, absorption corrections.
The defaults in the program were correct for the Nonius CAD4
in the Oxford Chemical Crystallography lab on 13 October 1980.
MATRIX R(1)= R(2)= R(3)= . . . R(9)=

The default values for CHI , KAPPA and PSI are zero.
THREE H= K= L= THETA= OMEGA= CHI= PHI= KAPPA= PSI=
This directive is used to input the setting details required to define a diffractometer orientation matrix from three reflections. The details for the three reflections must be input on separate directives, so that this directive must be repeated three times. This directive may only be input when the GEOMETRY parameter on the DIFFRACTION directive is Y290 or CAD4 . If this directive is input, the directives TWO , REAL , RECIPROCAL , and MATRIX may not be used. H= K= L= THETA= OMEGA= CHI= PHI= KAPPA= PSI=

This directive may only be input when the GEOMETRY parameter on the DIFFRACTION directive is CAD4 . COMPONENT(1)= COMPONENT(2)= COMPONENT(3)=
These three parameters provide the components of the real cell
vector that is parallel to the phi axis.

This parameter gives the number of atoms of the given type in the
asymmetric unit.
This number can be fractional, depending
on the number of atoms in the cell and whether they occupy special

CRYSTALS contains no COMMAND for editing this list - inputting a new LIST 30 over writes any existing version. However, some CRYSTALS commands update LIST 30 as an analysis proceeds, and there is a SCRIPT which enables some details to be changed. \LIST 30 DATRED NREFMES= NREFMERG= RMERGE= NREFFRIED= RMERGFRIED= REDUCTION= CONDITIONS MINSIZE= MEDSIZE= MAXSIZE= NORIENT= CONTINUE THORIENTMIN= THORIENTMAX= TEMPERATURE= STANDARDS= DECAY= SCANMODE= CONTINUE INTERVAL= COUNT= INSTRUMENT= REFINEMENT R= RW= NPARAM= SIGMACUT= GOF= DELRHOMIN= DELRHOMAX= CONTINUE RMSSHIFT= NREFUSED= FMINFUNC= RESTMINFUN= TOTALMINFUN= COEFFICIENT= INDEXRANGE HMIN= HMAX= KMIN= KMAX= LMIN= LMAX= THETAMIN= THETAMAX= ABSORPTION ANALMIN= ANALMAX= THETAMIN= THETAMAX= EMPMIN= EMPMAX= CONTINUE DIFABSMIN= DIFABSMAX= ABSTYPE= GENERAL DOBS= DCALC= F000= MU= MOLWT= FLACK= ESD= ANALYSE-CUT= CONTINUE ANALYSE-NREF= ANALYSE-R= ANALYSE-RW= SOLUTION= COLOUR SHAPE CIFEXTRA CALC-SIGMA= CALC-NREF= CALC-R= CALC-RW= CONTINUE ALL-SIGMA= ALL-NREF= ALL-R= ALL-RW= END

These values are updated when ever \ANALYSE is run, and can be used
to record the effect of different LIST 28 schemes. Remenber that if
the LIST 28 conditions are modified to include more reflections than
were used in the last \SFLS calculation (section 7.42), the values
of Fc for the
additional reflections will be incorrect. A \SFLS calculation sets
these to the same values as in REFINEMENT above.
