Oops sorry for the slippery fingers. I meant h00, 0k0 and 00l in my original email and NOT "00h, 00k, 00l". Note the correction especially if you are a first-year graduate student trying to learn stuff from these emails :) Raji On Thu, Jul 7, 2011 at 11:30 PM, Raji Edayathumangalam <[log in to unmask]>wrote: > Hello Everyone, > > I have a 3.1 Ang dataset for which I'd like to get to the bottom of what > the correct space group is. > > The current unit cell in p212121 is 98.123 101.095 211.201 90.000 > 90.000 90.000 > I fed the reflection data into Xtriage to look for twinning and > pseudotranslational NCS and there is no indication for either issue in the > Xtriage output.
