wombatThe 30th biennial conference of the Society of Crystallographers of Australia and New Zealand (Crystal30) was held in Hobart, Tasmania in March 2016.
Richard Cooper gave a keynote entitled “Routine problems and non-routine solutions in single crystal structure analyses” in which he discussed the use of the CRYSTALS software (and other tools) to address commonly occurring problems in crystallographic analysis.

Absolute structure determination using CRYSTALS

Acta. Cryst. (2016) C72, 261-267 [ doi:10.1107/S2053229616003570 ]

snipA study of post-refinement absolute structure determination using previously published data was carried out using the CRYSTALS software package. We show that absolute structure determination may be carried out optimally using the analyses available in CRYSTALS, and that it is not necessary to have the separate procedures absolute structure determination and no inter­est in absolute structure as proposed by Flack [Chimia (2014), 68, 26–30].
