Ahh. The history of science. I've always wondered how these naming conventions get decided. Who is the authority on what gets named after who? Historically, it seems to vary a lot. - When Patterson published his incredibly useful map he called it the F-square synthesis. Does anyone NOT

Dear All, I wonder about the conventions using Friedel vs Bijvoet pair. a) there are no differences. As long as h = -h, it's a Friedel or a Bijvoet pair. They are the same. b) A Friedel pair is any reflection h = -h including hR = -h, i.e. including centric reflections. A Bijvoet pair

Friedel pair is strictly F(hkl) and F(-h,-k,-l). Bijvoet pair is F(h) and any mate that is symmetry-related to F(-h), e.g., F(hkl) and F(-h,k,-l) in monoclinic. There are always anomalous differences, though they can be unmeasurably small. Bernie Santarsiero On Thu, June 26, 2008 10:55 am,

I've always thought that a Bijvoet pair is any pair for which an anomalous difference could be observed. This includes Friedel pairs (h h-bar), but it also includes pairs of the form h h', where h' is symmetry-related to h-bar. Thus Friedel pairs are a subset of all possible Bijvoet

Let's try this again, with definitions, and pls scream if I am wrong: a) Any reflection pair hR = h forms a symmetry related pair. R is any one of G point group operators of the SG. This is a set of reflections (S). Their amplitudes are invariably the same. They do not even show up

I quote from these pages: Bijvoet pairs are Bragg reflections which are true symmetry equivalents to a Friedel pair. These true symmetry equivalents have *equal amplitudes, even in the presence of anomalous scattering*. Sounds more like centric or perhaps simply symmetry related to me. A few

There was a mistake in the letter that listed the Bijvoet pairs for a monoclinic space group and that is confusing you. Let me try. The equivalent positions for a B setting monoclinic are h,k,l; -h,k,-l. The Friedel mates for the general position (h,k,l) are (-h,-k,-l). This means
