Weighted R-factors wR and all goodnesses of fit S are based on F^2^, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F^2^. The observed criterion of F^2^ > 2sigma(F^2^) is used only for calculating _R_factor_obs etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F^2^ are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. ; _refine_ls_structure_factor_coef Fsqd _refine_ls_matrix_type full _refine_ls_weighting_scheme 'calc w=1/[\s^2^(Fo^2^)+(0.0000P)^2^+0.0000P] where P=(Fo^2^+2Fc^2^)/3' _atom_sites_solution_primary direct _atom_sites_solution_secondary difmap _atom_sites_solution_hydrogens geom _refine_ls_hydrogen_treatment ? _refine_ls_extinction_method none _refine_ls_extinction_coef ? _refine_ls_abs_structure_details 'Flack H D (1983), Acta Cryst.
