Dear Dr. Robert

Thanks a lot for your information that's very helpful.

I checked the ICSD, but unfortunately we don't have access to the crystal data. It would be great, if you or someone has the access to the crystal data to provide me the coordinates, the collection code: 202727, Author: Post, Year: 1988.

Please let me know, if someone has the access to the data.

Regards

Sathish

Hi Satty,

The crystal data in your inp file came from the paper. I checked the
International
Crystal Structure Database (ICSD) - printout attached. The structure
data in the paper
are not in standard form - atoms might not give the correct results if
the input is bad- and there
are typos for two of the O5 coordinates according to the ICSD warning.
Does your institution have access to the ICSD - Online or on disc? If you
are not familiar with it, try talking to one of your institution's
reference librarians.

I'm not certain what you mean by the corner-corner Mn. You were choosing Mn1
as the core in your inp. When I look at the structure, Mn1 sits in the
middle of
the set of 3 octahedra that make up a side of the tunnel. Where would
the corner-corner
distance be relative to the middle of the chain? You have 4 different Mn
sites.

Fitting in R-space is common.

As for learning about crystal structures, try sitting in on a
coordination chemistry
or solid state chemistry course. For a basic learning book, I like
West's "Basic Solid
State Chemistry" or Muller's "Inorganic Structural Chemistry" (again,
try the library
if you don't want to buy a copy). More recent books may be available.
A bit of
googling may reveal some online lessons, like:

regards,
Robert
