Abstract

Recipes are given to assist in setting up rigid bodies for common molecules and coordination polyhedra, to define satellite groups, to perform rotations around arbitrary axes through the origin of the rigid body, and to refine intramolecular degrees of freedom under consideration of the special needs of powder diffraction. To the greatest possible extent, the notation follows that of the well known Rietveld refinement program GSAS (Larson and Von Dreele, 1994).
