The z_matrix rigid body has been applied for both the NH2BH3 anions. The angles and distaces were without restrains and has been refined with the limitation of the lenght or angle. The following Antibump penalty has been apllied: H2 - H7 = 2.2A Na* - H* = 2.6A Na* - B* = 3.0A Li* - Li* = 2.7A Li* - B* = 2.6A Li* - H* = 1.9A Li* - N* = 1.9A N* - N* = 2.9A N* - B* = 1.34A The maximum shift/s.u. ratio after final refinement cycle was not determined and probably has little meaning in the context of TOPAS 4.x. For example, TOPAS uses the Marquardt method and in the final cycles the change in parameters are heavily damped according to min/max limits and a predictor method for the Marquardt constant. For this reason the SHFSU_01 test was not performed The Maximum and Minimum values of final difference map (e A-3) cant be presented in the final CIF data, because of using the TOPAS 4.2 software, that not displayed the Fourier Maps. For this reason the following tests DIFMN_01, DIFMX_01,DIFMX_02, DIFMN_01,DIFMN_02 and DIFMN_03 will not be performed during the IUCr PLATON/CheckCIF process. ; _refine_ls_structure_factor_coef Inet _refine_ls_matrix_type fullcycle _refine_ls_weighting_scheme sigma _refine_ls_weighting_details '1/(\s(Y~o,m~)^2^), where \s(Y~o,m~) is the error in observed data' _refine_ls_extinction_method none _refine_ls_extinction_coef ? _refine_ls_number_parameters 98 _refine_ls_number_restraints 0 _refine_ls_number_constraints 23 #rigid body # The following item is the same as CHI, the square root of 'CHI squared' _refine_ls_goodness_of_fit_all 1.228 _refine_ls_R_I_factor 0.02072 _refine_ls_restrained_S_all ? # _refine_ls_shift/su_max ? # _refine_ls_shift/su_mean ? # The following four items apply to angular dispersive measurements. # 2theta minimum, maximum and increment (in degrees) are for the # intensities used in the refinement. _pd_proc_2theta_range_min 2.9428394 _pd_proc_2theta_range_max 23.446833 _pd_proc_2theta_range_inc 0.0147512 _pd_proc_wavelength 0.738080 # Each refinement must be accompanied by a listing of the powder data # in CIF format.
