In a recent publication) the author has given a brief account of a new method for the direct determination of the components of interatomic distances in crystals. The method is based on the application of the results of the theory of Four i e r series. I t is the object of the present paper to give a more detailed account of the underlying theory and to describe the application of the method to specific examples. In addition, two new results are presented which promise to increase the… Expand

The interpretation of the Patterson synthesis in x-ray crystallography
In order to interpret the Pat terson functions of complex crystal structures, full use should be made of the shape of the molecule, or of portions of it (if known). Usually there are multiple peaks… Expand
Determination of one-dimensional crystal structures using the double Patterson function

TLDR
The procedure was applied to solve and refine the crystal structures of quinacridone (β phase), naphthalene and allopurinol, and the resulting structures are in excellent agreement with structures from single-crystal data. Expand
