Energetics of interactions in the solid state of 2-hydroxy-8-X-quinoline derivatives (X = Cl, Br, I, S-Ph): comparison of Hirshfeld atom, X-ray wavefunction and multipole refinements

In this work, two methods of high-resolution X-ray data refinement: multipole refinement (MM) and Hirshfeld atom refinement (HAR) – together with X-ray wavefunction refinement (XWR) – are applied to investigate the refinement of positions and anisotropic thermal motion of hydrogen atoms, experiment-based reconstruction of electron density, refinement of anharmonic thermal vibrations, as well as the effects of excluding the weakest reflections in...
