_atom_site_aniso.symmform

Name:
_atom_site_aniso.symmform

Alias:
_atom_site_aniso_symmform

Definition:

   
    A symbolic expression that indicates the symmetry-restricted form of the
    components of the anisotropic displacement parameters of an atom, where the
    tensor components are ordered as A11, A22, A33, A23, A13, A12.

Examples:

A11,A22,A33,A23,A13,A12 No symmetry restrictions.
A11,A11,A11 Diagonal terms equal, zeros off-diagonal.
A11,A22,A33,0,0,0 Diagonal terms distinct, zeros off-diagonal.
