�What is the effect of resolution and the peak shape
systematic errors in the structural parameters?
�To what extend powder diffraction can provide
precise structural results? Are the structural
parameters chemically meaningful?
�How reliable is m

good indicators of the quality of a structural model?

If one is interested in “structural parameters” the number of independent
observations is notthe number of points in the patternN.
What is the number of “independent” observations?(No rigorous answer …)
Points to be considered:
•Signal-to-noise ratio, statistics.
•Number of independent Bragg reflections: NB
•Number of structural free parameters: NI = N
f
•Degree of reflection overlap: resolution versus separation
between consecutive reflections.
•Effective number of observations (resolution weighted): N
eff
•“Solvability” index: ratio between the effective number of
observations and the number of structural parameters: r = N
eff/N

Two reflections separated by ∆ ∆∆∆(Q) can be
discriminated properly if the following relation
holds:
∆ ∆∆∆(Q) = 2π πππ2j/(Q
2Vo) ≥ ≥≥≥p D
Q
DQis the FWHM in Q-space, p is of the order of the
unity
A single reflection at Qocontributes to N
effas
1/(1+Nn), where N
nis the number of reflections in

(1)For complex structures high statistical accuracy and high resolution
is requiredfor getting the true parameter values even is the refined
model is unbiased. Suggestion: the solvability index (r = Neff/Nffor
p=1/2) should be largely greater than 4-5to be sure that the structural
parameters are accurate enough. More experience is needed to
establish precise rules.
(2)The absolute value of the profile R-factors has little significance
because their values depend on the quality of the data as well as on the
goodness the structural model. The R-factors obtained by a Le Bail fit
provide the “expected” values for the best structural model.
(3)Well behaved peak shape could be more important than resolution
in some cases.
