3.6.7.7. Bond-valence information

| top | pdf |

The categories describing bond valences are as follows:

VALENCE group
VALENCE_PARAM
VALENCE_REF

These categories were introduced into version 2.2 of the core CIF dictionary to provide the information about bond valences required in inorganic crystallography. They appear in the mmCIF dictionary only for full compatibility with the core dictionary.

Data items in these categories are as follows:

(a) VALENCE_PARAM [Scheme scheme183]

(b) VALENCE_REF [Scheme scheme184]

The bullet ([\bullet]) indicates a category key. The arrow ([\rightarrow]) is a reference to a parent data item. Items in italics have aliases in the core CIF dictionary formed by changing the full stop (.) to an underscore (_).

Information about the use of these data items in the core CIF dictionary is given in Section 3.2.4.5[link] .
