All use of the programs in publications must be cited and a suitable reference is given each time the program runs.
Download specific versions
SHELXS-86 for Win 3.1
SHELXS-86 for Win 95 or NT 4.0
SHELXS-97 for Win 3.1
SHELXS-97 for Win 95 or NT 4.0
SHELXS-86 is provided as it is typically 20% faster than SHELXS-97 and its Patterson expansion is often better for small molecules
The following useful modifications make paperless
crystallography with ORTEX easy
1. The input file may be called *.INX or *.INS.
2. SHELXS-86 output looks more like the 97 version
3. The top peaks in the assembled molecules are listed to the screen
