Bondlengths and Angles in Fullprof

Dear all,

For those who use fullprof  could someone tell me 
how to generate the bond lengths and angles with 
their esd' s by fullprof? I have already tried 
to do what is reffered to an old mail at reitveld 
list regarding the generation of the bond lenths. 
According to this mail this is possible by setting 
the parameter JDIST to 3 but unfortunately it didn't work.

Is there any advice on fixing this?

Thank you in advance,

Irini

Irini,

You probably need to add a new line after the line containing JDIST. It
should contain 3 parameters:
The maximum distance between atoms to be output (a real number)
The maximum distance between atoms to output the angle between them (a real
number)

A string to tell whether Bond Angle Calculations are to be performed. The
string should be 'BVS' to perform such calculations.

Hope this helps :-)

Best regards,
Magnus H. S�rby

The fact is that the Fullprof manual does not mention any JDIST=3
option.

Some text about that option is in the fp2k.inf file :
     "The calculation of distances and angles, as well as bond
       valence sums can be done automatically, without using external
       programs (e.g. BONDSTR). This is obtained using JDIST=3,4.
       Output files with extension "dis" contain all the relevant
       information for the different phases."

Trying to guess what should have been explained into the manual,
I succeeded in making the stuff working in one hour this morning  ;-)).
The tbbaco.pcr example was taken from the series of Fullprof
examples, and the following changes were made :

Sy0 =1 and Sym =1 at the following line :

!Ipr Ppl Ioc Mat Pcr Ls1 Ls2 Ls3 Syo Prf Ins Rpa Sym Hkl Fou Sho Ana
    0   0   1   0   1   0   4   0   1   1   0   1   1   0   0   0   0

Then :
More = 1 as below,
then 2 additional lines are needed , with jdi (=JDIST) = 3 at the first
additional line and details about the distance calculations in the second
additional line, before the space group :

This should work (at least in that case), provided
you perform the last refinement cycle at which the
calculation is done.

In case of problems, use the old good BONDSTR.EXE program, 
available at the same place as Fullprof by anonymous FTP :
charybde.saclay.cea.fr/pub/divers/fullp/ms-dos/

Armel, Irini, and all,

	The option to do bond length calculations and BVS calculations, etc,
is not explicitly given in the HTML fullprof manual.  It is, however,
described in the appendix included with the more recent releases of Fullprof
(you know, the big ol pdf file called something like app_fp2k_man.pdf, right
about page 20).  I only caught onto it after I had a lead from someone here.
Below, is a slice of a prf file that does the bond lengths and stuff
correctly.  Also, if you're really interested in the BVS calculations, you
may be better off using Brown's Valist program.

Old Discussion on doing bond-angles and lengths in Fullprof

Hi all,

	For those of you out there who use Fullprof, what is your favourite
program to generate tables of bond lengths and angles, preferrably with
e.s.d.'s (or s.u.'s if you prefer that).

	Also, one of my students reports that Fullprof running on Windows ME
sometimes causes to system to freeze.  Any advice on fixing this?

	Thanks, AlexY

Hi Alexandre:
About the problem with runnin fullprof: You have to write in the
autoexec.bat file this:

Set c:\fullprof\fp98    
 
if your program is in the subdirectory fullprof and if it is fullprof 98

Also, if you have the newest version maybe this is the problem, try to use
the version of october 1998.

The latest verson of Fullprof(2k) can do bond length and angle
calculations directly. The parameter JDIST (which appears when IMORE is
not zero) must be set to 3 for the phases of interest.
The result will come in files named CODFILn.dis (one for each phase).

I haven't tried this myself yet, but it is described in the appendix of
the manual, App_fp2k_man.pdf, which is available on the web.
