Dear Nick,
autoSHARP uses the 'George Sheldrick' values for a good solution -
after all, he's written SHELXC/SHELXD. However, these cut-off values
are rather strict and (in my experience) only achievable with really
good data.
What does autoSHARP tell you above this line (maybe you could post the
whole SHELXD/LISTautoSHARP.html file)? Are you getting:
- good CC values (as calculate by autoSHARP, not the onese from
SHELXD)?
- a nice 'jump' in the OCC plot (doesn't happen if you have soaks,
like I, Hg, TaBr ...)
- a nice bi-modal distribution (solutions vs. non-solutions) in the
CC(all)/patfom plot and CC all/weak plot?
Do the sites autoSHARP finds refine? Does autoSHARP finds more?
There are half a dozen other things you might want to check or that
you could try - but it depends on your particular problem ...
Cheers
Clemens
