Abstract

Conventional methods used in x-ray crystallography do not permit a true density distribution of a molecular crystal to be obtained. The selected-electron-shell method allows treating independently the contribution of the inner and outer electrons of the different atoms to the total x-ray scattering. This method is applied to the case of hexamine. Isotropic and anisotropic Gaussian functions describing the form and thermal factors of carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen are refined by the least-squares method. The corresponding three-dimensional electron-density maps of the outer electrons of the molecule of hexamine are obtained from x-ray diffraction data and compared with the calculated ones using a convolution method.
