Direct Methods and Solvent Flattening In honor of Professor B.C. Wang receiving the 2008 Patterson Award Q. Hao, Y.X. Gu, C.D. Zheng & H.F. Fan
Direct methods breaking the SIR/SAD phase ambiguity
Component Relationships (1965) Chinese Physics 1429-1435 (1965) SAD case: If the heavy-atom substructure is centrosymmetric, we know Ah and |Bh|, the question is to find the sign of Bh . SIR case: If the heavy-atom substructure is centrosymmetric, we know Bh and |Ah|, the question is to find the sign of Ah .
