Hi Lisa, Starting from a similar crystal structure could work. Alternatively, building a basic "crystal" structure using symmetry P1 and just putting the atoms where you want them would be feasible - tedious if you have a lot of atoms, easier if you know you have higher symmetry. e.g.  Test Symmetry P1   * i.e. no symmetry a = 10  b = 10  c = 10   *Angstroms, easy to scale alpha = 90  beta = 90  gamma = 90  * so metrically cubic Central atom  0.000  0.000 0.000   * at origin, could always displace by 1/2 lattice constants to keep all in the unit cell 1st NNa    0.220 0.000 0.000   * 1st nns at 2.2 Angstroms away 1stNNb     0.000 0.220 0.000 1stNNc     0.000 0.000 0.220 1stNNd    -0.220 0.000 0.000 etc... I've used this for modelling molecules, surfaces (with deposited films) as well as 3D crystals. It is a bit of brute force, but should work in any crystal visualization program... cheers, -R.

Hello XAFS friends. I would like to know how to create a structure model for a molecule that was measured with EXAFS, then modeled using the typical strategies? - So, in the end you have some distances and bond angles from the central atom ZjQcmQRYFpfptBannerStart This Message Is From an External Sender This message came from outside your organization. ZjQcmQRYFpfptBannerEnd Hello XAFS friends. I would like to know how to create a structure model for a molecule that was measured with EXAFS, then modeled using the typical strategies? - So, in the end you have some distances and bond angles from the central atom to the first, and maybe second neighbor. I was thinking that you start from a similar crystal structure and then adapt that model using the numbers you got from EXAFS fitting, using for example the Vesta program. Best wishes, Lisa.
