Hi elsa, You can open the cif file with a text editor and check the parameters in the atoms page against what you find in the cif file. Sometimes a shift vector is needed. Check the messages in artemis for the possible values to try. If none of these work. Try sending us the cif file. Good luck Shelly On Sep 30, 2010 5:01 PM, Elsa E.

Iron(III) tris(dihydrogenarsenate) pentahydrate Kaatialaite, Fe (H2 As O4)3 (H2 O)5, P 1 21/n 1, number 14; monoclinic and in both cases, after running Feff, I obtain distances Fe-As that are not real. For instance in scorodite I find a distance As-Fe = 1,71 A. How can I overcome this problem?
