_atom_site_refinement_flags

Definition:

   
    **DEPRECATED**

    A concatenated series of single-letter codes which indicate the
    refinement restraints or constraints applied to this site. This
    item should not be used. It has been replaced by
    _atom_site.refinement_flags_posn, *_ADP and *_occupancy. It is
    retained in this dictionary only to provide compatibility with
    legacy CIFs.

Type: Text


The data value must be one of the following:


S
Special position constraint on site.

G
Rigid group refinement of site.

R
Riding-atom site attached to non-riding atom.

D
Distance or angle restraint on site.

T
Thermal displacement constraints.

U
Uiso or Uij restraint (rigid bond).

P
Partial occupancy constraint.

.
No refinement constraints.
