PLAT111
PLAT111 Type_2 Test for additional centre of symmetry [0, 100] (ADDSYM)
Tests for missed symmetry are done with ADDSYM, an extended MISSYM (C) clone. These tests warn for missed or possible higher (pseudo) symmetry in the structural model (i.e. based on the coordinate data). Close examination of the situation at hand with PLATON/ADDSYM is indicated in order to prove/ disprove the issue (usually in combination with the reflection data). This ALERT reports on a potential additional (pseudo/real) inversion centre. A pseudo-centre may be incompatible with existing symmetry elements. Chiral molecules are incompatible with an inversion centre. NOTE: H-atoms and disordered atoms are not taken into account in the test.
