Locating anomalous atoms from ΔF<br />
Most proper for locating anomalous atoms are F A ’s,<br />
but they are not measurable directly, however<br />
ΔF ± = 2 F ” A sin(ϕ T - ϕ A ) = 2 F A (f”/fo ) sin(ϕ T - ϕ A )<br />
therefore<br />
ΔF ± ≈ F A for large Bijvoet differences<br />
Measured anomalous differences can be used to<br />
locate anomalous atoms by Patterson or direct methods
