[sdpd] STX:RIET: Summary of available Single Crystal HKL to Powder diffraction conversion software.





There is a summary of available software to convert single crystal
HKL files to "pseudo"-powder diffraction patterns at:

  http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/solution/hkltopowder.html

--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+

This functionality can potentially assist with:

 Easily compare single crystal data with powder diffraction data taken of a 
 bulk sample:
  (Refer HKL2Powder/Platon tutorial with the antibiotic pharmaceutical
  Tetracycline Hydrochloride:

   http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/tutorial/platon/hkl2powder.html

---------------------

 Phase identification of single crystal data using powder methods.
   (Though refer to the above tutorial which implies that this
   could be problematic if the reference data and unknown data have been
   collected at very different temperatures (powder diffraction data
   at room temp, the other under a crystream))  This may bode ill for 
   the ICDD generating calculated powder diffraction patterns from 
   CCDC single crystal co-ordinates?

---------------------

 Attempting to index possibly twinned single crystal data by treating
  it as a powder (e.g., using Robin Shirley's Crysfire Powder Indexing
   suite - and Jean Laugier and Bernard Bochu's Chekcell)
     http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/tutorial/crys/
     http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/tutorial/lmgp/index.html#chekcell

---------------------

  Educational purposes - creating powder diffraction examples for
     powder indexing tutorials - showing the differences between single
     crystal and powder diffraction, etc.

Web tutorial on using Platon's HKL2Powder (UNIX and Windows) 
on tetracycline hydrochloride - comparing both the generated
pseudo-powder pattern with real laboratory powder diffraction 
data.
  (Platon's HKL2Powder works on a Shelx HKL and INS file)

    http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/tutorial/platon/hkl2powder.html

Notes on using HKL2Powder from Ton Spek:

  * - Unless your dataset is triclinic, some symmetry info should
       be present in .ins.

       Data are first averaged into a unique dataset corresponding 
       to the centrosymmetric Laue group associated with the supplied
       spacegroup info (thus 2/m for P21)

       Subsequently, a half sphere of reflections is generated
       (also written to .hkp)

 * - The number of missing reflections with sin(theta)/lambda < 0.3
       is reported.

Powutl by Patrick McArdle (part of the ORTEX suite and can be
downloaded stand alone:
  (Generates CPI, ING, Riet7 DAT, XY files)

Note: The ING Pseudo-powder diffraction files also has HKLs to 
the right of column data - this can be helpful when trying to 
match peaks to HKLs. e.g.,
   110.24         264.     0   6 -10
   110.26          84.
   110.28          48.
   110.30          90.    -9   5  10
   110.32         189.    -6   0  16
   110.34         434.   -13   3   2
   110.36         549.   -11   5   5
