The application of a new technique for zeolite framework structure solution is described that exhaustively enumerates every possible topology consistent with known unit-cell dimensions and space-group symmetry. It is shown that computer-generated on-line databases of hypothetical crystal structures can radically augment structure building in the pre-refinement stage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
