(New page: Centric reflections play the same role in reciprocal space as special positions in real space: they may occur at the borders of the asymmetric unit. It makes sense to discuss the reciproca...)
 
Line 24: Line 24:
Centric reflections in space group P2 and P2_1 are thus those with 0,k,0.
Centric reflections in space group P2 and P2_1 are thus those with 0,k,0.


Attention: there are space groups without centric reflections, like R3.
Properties: centric reflections have only two phase possibilities, e.g. 0° and 180°. Furthermore, centric reflections do not have an anomalous signal. (can these properties be easily derived here?)
