Analysis of simulated PDFs of well known cluster structures. (a) Simulated PDFs of a decatungstate polyoxometallate cluster from the Na5(H7W12O42)(H2O)20 crystal structure (blue) (Redrup & Weller, 2009BB37), a C60 buckyball from a single unit cell of a C60 crystal structure (green) (Chen & Yamanaka, 2002BB9) and a paratungstate polyoxometallate cluster obtained from the (Ba(H2O)2{H[N(CH3)2]CO}3)2(W10O32){H[N(CH3)2]CO}2 crystalline model (red) (Poimanova et al., 2015BB33). Simulation parameters were chosen to mimic typical measured PDF datasets and are listed in Section A in the supporting information. (b)–(d) Results of using ClusterFinder on the three simulated PDFs where the atoms with the (b) 40, (c) 60 and (d) 12 atoms with the lowest [\Delta R^i_{\rm wp}] values have been coloured yellow, while the rest are coloured blue. Section C in the supporting information shows a similar representation but where the atom-removal values are directly shown using a continuous colour bar. Oxygen atoms are coloured red and polyhedra are coloured according to their metal atom centre.
