Summary: PLATON is a versatile SHELX97 compatible multipurpose crystallographic tool
Description:
PLATON is a versatile SHELX97 compatible multipurpose crystallographic tool. Most PLATON features complement those available in the excellent and widely distributed SHELX97 package for crystal structure determination and refinement. Historically (1980) PLATON started out as a program for the automated calculation of derived geometrical data (i.e. bond distances, bond angles and torsion angles, including su's (esd's)) for structures refined with SHELX76. Since then, that basic function evolved into an automatic function to calculate everything of possible interest (both intra- and intermolecular)for a given structural parameter set (Instruction: CALC). Over time, various other tools were introduced (Molecular Graphics i.e. PLUTON & ORTEP, Absorption correction, Data Validation etc.), some of which requiring a reflection datafile as well. Several functions in PLATON (e.g. SPGR and EXOR) are there to implement calculations needed for datareduction, structure determination and refinement with a program system called 'SYSTEM-S'. ------------------------------------------------------------ Please note that commecrial users should apply for a license: http://www.cryst.chem.uu.nl/platon/pl030000.html See also /usr/share/doc/platon*/PERMISSION.txt
