PLAT987 Type_1 Test for the need of a TWIN/BASF refinement
A BASF/TWIN refinement of the Flack x parameter is indicated when its value deviates significantly from zero as measured against its associated s.u. value. This applies in particular for structures containing significant anomalous scatterers. With a default SHELXL refinement, the Flack x parameter value is not taken into account in the refinement model as part of the calculation of F(calc) and the creation of the FCF file. Inclusion of a Flack x in the refinement model that deviates significantly from zero will lead to lower R-values and a better model.
