| | 19 | In CIF files representing small molecule crystals (e.g. ice) applying crystal symmetry |
| | 20 | can place copies of atoms right on top of themselves. Some web posts said this is normal |
| | 21 | and the duplicates should be eliminated. Chimera does not eliminate them. Perhaps it |
| | 22 | should. There are complexities in deciding where to place bonds then. Matthew Thompson |
| | 23 | sent an ice example which is particularly troublesome with half occupancies for 4 hydrogen |
| | 24 | positions around each oxygen. |
