Dear professor George Sheldrick,
I am so sorry to bother you again!
From the shelxc_fa.lst file, we can find that the Patterson peaks will be
selected only when the 'Mult' equal to 1.0000.
shelxc_fa.lst:
Patterson (* indicates vector selected for search)
X Y Z Height Mult Length
0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 999.9 0.0435 0.00
0.0553 0.0553 0.0159 43.8 0.5000 5.22
0.5511 0.0000 0.5000 33.8 0.2500 99.53
0.9102 0.8730 0.0163 31.7 1.0000 9.29 *
But in <Substructure solution with SHELXD>, I found this sentence
...A random selection of vectors from the Patterson peak
list (excluding Harker peaks), biased so that the high peaks
are chosen more often...
It seem that the Patterson peaks are selected randomly.So I am very confused.
Can you give me a short introduction about the 'mult' indicates and the rule
of peaks selection?
Thank you very much!
Best wishes!
