Hello,
A shelxl question.
I have done anisotropic refinement of a 1.45 A structure with SHELXL. I
wanted to create thermal ellipsoids for an Fe-S cluster with Xtalview. 3
of the 4 irons of this cluster are "Non positive definite" (NPD) and so
the program uses isotropic B-factors to create the ellipsoid.
My questions are
1.One of the iron atoms is not NPD, what could be the difference. The
output file is from a least square refinement.
2. Can I manually change the anisotropic B-values of the NPD atoms to
those of the same atoms that are not, would that be unacceptable.

Of course I want to do it the right way, but dont know how.
Appreciate any help.
Thanks.
Arti Pandey
