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

I am trying to use the following CIF files to
generate the feff path at the As edge:
1- 'Iron(III) arsenate(V) dihydrate', Scorodite,
H4 As Fe O6'; space group P c a b; number 61; orthorhombic
and
2. 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?
Thanks,
Elsa
