Why does Mercury not generate an ESD for a particular bond length, angle, torsion or other measurement in my structure?
Solution
Mercury provides the tabulation of measured and standard molecular geometric parameters, along with estimated standard deviations (ESDs) for those values, in various tabs of the More Info dialogue box (such as Bonds, Distances and All Angles). The calculation of ESDs for any of these measurements within crystal structures relies on the underlying atomic coordinates having associated ESDs. Mercury will only calculate an ESD for a measurement if ALL the associated atoms have full atomic coordinate ESDs.
An example where this is highly relevant is a standard organic crystal structure where the atomic coordinates of the non-hydrogen atoms within the model have been freely refined, but the hydrogens have been placed at geometric positions and either set to be ‘fixed’ or ‘riding’. In this example the non-hydrogen atomic coordinates would have ESDs, but the hydrogen positions would not. Mercury will tabulate the measured values of all bond lengths, angles and torsions, but those geometric parameters involving hydrogen will not have ESDs as they would not make any sense scientifically – essentially those parameters have been fixed, not refined.
后面是误差,1.316(20)相当于1.316+-0.020
先谢谢啦!括号里的数字就是指的是括号前数字的最后几位?那么,这个键长键角小数点后保留位数为嘛不一样呢?这个是有特别的要求还是任意保留的?
可能是estimated standard deviations (ESDs)值吧
Mercury软件显示后面的值和那个差不太多
那个里面这样说的:

但我也不太确定,
