Using crystallography as a method of chemical analysis.

What is it about?

Crystallography is accepted routinely as a method of chemical analysis if it is done correctly. Programs have been developed to validate crystallographic data and make sure the methods used are complete and correct. This has led to the assumption that if the crystallography is correct, the chemical information must also be correct. This is shown not always be true.

Why is it important?

The fact that chemically incorrect crystallography studies get into the literature represents a complete breakdown of both the trust in crystallography and also the peer review process of such publications. It provides emphasis for the need for software that can help ensure this is not the case.
