Charge density studies

Charge density studies greatly benefit from the use of Ag-radiation. The study on Sc3CoC4 shows an identical charge distribution using the APEX II QUAZAR as previously obtained from a classical four-circle diffractometer. However, the Residual Density Map obtained after a multipol refinement is significantly cleaner.
