They always have a question mark as their label and are related to the descriptor, near which they are placed. A dialogue box with a list is always displayed, containing the distribution of the appropriate descriptors in the database. Usually, descriptor values can be taken from this list and transferred to an input line. 'Z Ŀ History button   'History buttons' are input record lists widely found in dialogue boxes as green fields with an arrow pointing downward. In order to retrieve an entry, first focus on the input line and then press the key or click on the 'History button' with the mouse. Thereupon a small window appears with a list of your last inputs. Run through the list and pick up an entry with or a double click with the mouse. Alternatively, you can interrupt the process with . ' Hotkeys t A series of key combinations allows rapid access to certain functions of this program without going through menus:  F1 - help Shift-F1 - help index F2 - save subset F3 - open file F7 - representation in tabular form F8 - representation in mask form F10 - menu Alt-V - starting CRYSTAL VISUALIZER Alt-X - program exit '$ Scroll bar  Scroll bars are often found at the margins of dialogue boxes. They are used exclusively with the mouse and enables you to conveniently move the portrayed section of text. A ͻ  scroll bar > < marker marker V V   > Clicking on the small arrow symbol at each end, moves the section up, down, left, or right by one line or column, respectively. If you hold the mouse button depressed on the symbol, the action is repeated automatically (after a short pause) until you release the mouse button or until the end of the text is reached. A The marker within the scroll bar shows the relative position of the current section within the entire text. Should no marker be visible, the entire text fits within the window and a scroll function would be unnecessary. If you execute a click between the marker and the arrow symbol, the portrayed section is moved a full page at a time. However, you can also seize the marker with the mouse (place the mouse pointer on the marker, press the left mouse button and hold) and drag it to a desired position (move mouse pointer with depressed mouse button to a desired position). '0 Action Buttons | Action buttons serve in dialogues to trigger all possible functions. They are always portrayed in green and with a shadow.  In order to activate a button with the mouse, move the mouse pointer over the button and press the left mouse button. As soon as the mouse button is released, the function is triggered, provided the mouse pointer is still on the button. k To trigger a button with the keyboard, press until the label of the button turns to white. The button is now 'focused'. Now, you can trigger the function with or . If the label of the button contains an emphasized letter, you may trigger the function directly with the key combination , where Z stands for the appropriate letter. '' ANX formula Q The ANX formula may be selected with the command 'SearchChemicalComposition'. + In the ANX formula, elements with a positive oxidation state are symbolized by the first letters of the alphabet (A-M), elements with a negative oxidation state are symbolized by the last letters of the alphabet (S-Z) and, elements with an oxidation state of 0 are symbolized by the letters (N-R). q **NOTES**: - The letters are sorted within the groups according to increasing(!) index (e.g. AB2X4, not A2BX4). x - Structures that contain more than four positive, three negative, or three neutral types of atoms are not considered. G - The ANX formula is only calculated for fully determined structures. # For more information, see manual!  ['3 Collection Code  Each database element is assigned a so-called 'Collection Code' at the time it is placed in the database. This code consists of up to six numeric characters and remains unchanged even in later versions of the database. It can be selected with the command 'SearchAcquisitionData'.  5'- Element Count  The 'Element Count' gives the number of different chemical elements within a structure. Stoichiometry, oxidation state, and bonding are not considered. The 'Element Count' can be selected with the command 'SearchChemicalComposition'.

The values in the database have been corrected. 76 The coordinates are those given in the paper, but the atomic distances do not agree with those calculated during testing. The coordinates are probably correct. $ 78 Entry not yet complete. ' ' Delta-Value U In order to be able to compare two data sets, the so-called value was introduced: 1 ((1)M(1)+ (2)M(2) + ... + (n)M(n)) 8 = ) (M(1) + M(2) + ... + M(n)) A (1), (2) ... (n) = minimum value of (x+y+z) for n atoms in the asymmetric units of the compared data sets (x,y,z: differences between the coordinates) M(1), M(2)... M(n) = multiplicities for n atoms in the asymmetric unit $ It defines the average "distance" of corresponding atoms in two structures. Each atom of the asymmetric unit of structure A is compared with an atom of the asymmetric unit of structure B. For each corresponding atom pair a minimum value of (x+y+z) is calculated. Each of these values is multiplied by the multiplicity of the corresponding atom site. The resulting values of (x+y+z) are summed up and divided by the sum of the multiplicities. Thereby an average is calculated, which is weighted by the multiplicities. The weighted average is the final value displayed in the " monitor" of the dialogue window. If is small, the compared structures are similar. Experience has shown, that a value of 0.05 or smaller suggests isotypism. If is zero, the atom parameters are identical.  ***NOTES:*** W 1. Symmetry-equivalent atoms in neighbouring unit cells are also taken into account. : 2. The dimensions of both unit cells are not considered.

If you mark several elements, they are correspondingly linked with the setting of the 'Connection switch', containing the logical operators AND/OR.  Element groups (main groups, subgroups, or periods), which you have selected with the "group marker" (the triangles at the margin of the periodic system), are connected via the logical operator OR, i.e., at least one element of the group must occur in the structure. The element group as a whole is nevertheless treated as a single element, thus the 'Connection switch' (AND/OR) is decisive. Within a marked element group, individual elements can again be excluded by repeated clicking.  For single elements (no groups!) you also can establish an oxidation state and a stoichiometric index.

With the help of two element lists ('From' and 'To'), the elements whose distances/angles from each other are to be calculated are marked first. scroll bar Ŀ O -2   Fe +2 <- marked Fe +3 element (oxidation state is taken into account) S +6   Focus on the respective list via the key combination or or by clicking on the label above the list. Then focus on the elements to be marked with the cursor keys or the scroll bar and mark the focused element with a double mouse click, , or 'Mark' button. Ŀ DMin ________ minimum interatomic distance DMax ________ maximum interatomic distance . In the input lines 'DMin' and 'DMax', you specify the boundary values for the interatomic distances to be shown. The switch field 'Unit' lets you decide whether the 'DMin/DMax' values are to be based on 'absolute' values (in ) or relative to the 'Ionic radii' (IR) stored in the system (see manual). M Start the calculation with the appropriate buttons for distances or angles.  The calculated distances/angles for the pertinent entry are displayed in the 'Result' window. If you focus on this window (by means of or by a mouse click on it), a scroll bar appears at the right margin, which allows to view the list. c Ŀ Atom1 : Atom2 Distance : Atom2 Distance ... { Ŀ Atom1 : Atom2 / Atom3 Angle : Atom2 / Atom3 Angle ...  By mouse clicking on the 'Print' option in the status line, you can print out the list of distances/angles or write it into a file. 0 Exit this dialogue box with or 'Quit'.
