PLAT992 Type_5 Report difference between reported and actual _reflns_number_gt values
The CIF Reported and actual (in the FCF) '_reflns_number_gt' values are found to differ. R1 values are calculated by checkCIF to cross-checking with the R1 value as reported in the CIF. The number of 'observed' reflections that goes into that calculation is based on the criterium I > 2.0 * Sigma(I). A refinement program like SHELXL uses F(obs) > 4.0 * Sigma(F(obs)) as 'observed' criterium in its calculation of R1. Both numbers may differ slightly for numerical reasons. Large differences may point to inconsistencies between the CIF and FCF that need to be investigated.
