- Abstract
- High-resolution X-ray diffraction data were collected at T = 19 K from two
similar spherical crystals of the fungal metabolite citrinin, C13H14O5. The two
data sets were of markedly different quality, one data set (MQ, medium quality)
comprising a single octant of the reciprocal lattice and including reflections with
obviously peculiar intensity profiles while the second (HQ, high quality)
comprised a hemisphere of reflections and showed no flawed profiles. Parallel
multipolar refinements were carried out for both. While most of the resulting
geometric parameters, including bond lengths and angles, were in close
agreement (the standard uncertainties were approximately twice as large for
the MQ data, reflecting the smaller number of observations), the agreement is
noticeably worse for electronic properties such as electron densities and their
Laplacians at the bond and ring critical points. These latter features are
especially sensitive to the quality of the low-angle (and strong) intensities, which
was not high for the MQ data. By contrast, the magnitudes of the molecular
dipole moment from the two experiments are the same within 1 standard
uncertainty, with an angle of about 13deg between the two vectors. It is concluded
that only true high-quality data allow a fully significant and quantitative analysis
of the details of the experimental electron density rhoexp, while high-resolution
medium-quality data, measured at very low temperature and adequately
processed, can still be used for a qualitative analysis, or for the derivation of
overall electronic properties. (literal)
