Maximum entropy method : an unconventional approach to explore observables related to the electron density in phengites

2009

The maximum entropy method (MEM) is used here to get an insight into the electron density [rho(r)] of phengites 2M (1) and 3T, paying special attention to the M1-formally empty site and charge distribution. Room temperature single crystal X-ray diffraction data have been used as experimental input for MEM. The results obtained by MEM have been compared with those from conventional structure refinement which, in turn, has provided the prior-electron density to start the entropy maximization process. MEM reveals a comparatively non-committal approach, able to produce information related to the M1-site fractional occupancy, and yields results consistent with those from the difference Fourier s…
