PLAT769
PLAT769 Type_4 TEST for CIF embedded explicit scattering factor values
The supplied '.cif' file contains explicit scattering factor data as values of their corresponding CIF datanames. Those scattering factor data are used by PLATON/checkCIF for its validation calculations as opposed to using the neutral scattering factor data that are stored in PLATON (which are identical to those stored internally in SHELXL). Those CIF reported values should be identical to those provided in the embedded '.res' file. Current SHELXL versions do not copy scattering factor data that are explicitly included in the '.ins' instruction file into corresponding CIF data items. A reason for the use of non-default scattering factors can be the modelling of charged atoms in the refinement. Also, the PLATON build-in Peng (Micron 30(1999) 625-648) electron scattering factors might have been substituted by an alternative set.
