<i>DSR</i>: enhanced modelling and refinement of disordered structures with <i>SHELXL</i>

Abstract

One of the remaining challenges in single-crystal structure refinement is the proper description of disorder in crystal structures. This paper describes a computer program that performs semi-automatic modelling of disordered moieties in SHELXL [Sheldrick (2015). Acta Cryst. C 71 , 3–8.]. The new program contains a database that includes molecular fragments and their corresponding stereochemical restraints, and a placement procedure to place these fragments on the desired position in the unit cell. The program is also suitable for speeding up model building of well ordered crystal structures.
