fixing anisotropic thermal parameters

You've heard of the obscure little used program called Shelx? Well feel free to share your Shelx questions, in all forms XL, WinGX versions, Shelx versions, we take the lot and then your wondering what about general commands yep those and Shelx related issues, ideas, troubleshooting and of course general Shelx related hocus-pocus. Just post away - remember though:
Q2: When I start SHELXL on my PC the disk rattles loudly for several hours and smoke comes out of the back. Is this a bug?
A: You must be trying to run SHELX under some version of Windows! The best solution is to reformat the hard disk and install Linux. However the current release should produce less smoke.

fixing anisotropic thermal parameters

Hi there,

I am trying to fix the thermal parameters (anisotropic) while letting the site occupancy and xyz coordinates freely refine. Can anyone suggest any shelx commands which would help me?

I have tried fixing the thermal parameters by putting 10 in front of all the U values but this blows up. e.g.

O1 4 0.31307 0.06131 0.11390 11.00000 0.04813 0.08631 =
0.06322 -0.00540 0.00256 -0.01505

to

O1 4 0.31307 0.06131 0.11390 11.00000 10.04813 10.08631 =
10.06322 9.9946 10.00256 9.98495

Thanks,

Mark Warren

Try:

Code: Select all
O1 4 0.31307 0.06131 0.11390 11.00000 0.04813 0.08631 =
0.06322 -0.00540 0.00256 -0.01505

to
Code: Select all
O1 4 0.31307 0.06131 0.11390 11.00000 10.04813 10.08631 =
10.06322 -10.00540 10.00256 -10.0150


The adding of 10 is not the literal addition of 10+variable but adding 10 to the variable if that makes sense so the -0.00540 do not go to 9.9946. Also you need to release the site from 11.0000 to either 1.000 to completely freely refine or to a FVAR say 21.000 etc.
