SnB version 2.3: triplet sieve phasing for centrosymmetric structures

H. Xu, A. B. Smith, N. V. Sahinidis and C. M. Weeks

Abstract: A new version of the direct-methods program SnB has been developed. This version incorporates the triplet sieve method for phasing centrosymmetric structures in a way that is transparent to users. The triplet sieve procedure may decrease significantly the time required to achieve a solution for such structures.

Keywords: SnB; triplet sieve method; phasing of centrosymmetric structures; computer programs.
