Thus using CSD geometry check can encourage students to look for errors or novel features of the structure. Bondlengths RED="too long" and BLUE="too short". RED ---- GREY ---- GREY ---- BLUE 3sigma 2sigma 1sigma 0sigma 1sigma 2sigma 3sigma

75. Lachlan M. D. Cranswick (l.m.d.cranswick@dl.ac.uk) http://www.ccp14.ac.uk Slide 75 Validation using Crystals Cambridge database geometry check (1 of 4) Doing a CSD check shows a bond in red (too long) displaying a geometry of which is completely novel in reference to what is already known

So interrogate the CSD again to obtain this information.

78. Lachlan M. D. Cranswick (l.m.d.cranswick@dl.ac.uk) http://www.ccp14.ac.uk Slide 78 Validation using Crystals Cambridge database geometry check (4 of 4) CSD results now imply/infer that local geometry is consistent with what is already in the database.

For perhaps the same reason that Columbia University Law/Journalism professors teach their students (at least one - circa late 1940’s) : “ If your mother says she loves you,” “ CHECK IT OUT!!” Better to publish work that can stand the test of time - thus is very helpful doing a variety of validation and using a variety of programs to assist in validation!
