Abstract

The X-ray constrained wavefunction (XCW) procedure for obtaining an experimentally reconstructed wavefunction from X-ray diffraction data is reviewed. The two-center probability distribution model used to perform nuclear-position averaging in the original paper [Grimwood & Jayatilaka (2001). Acta Cryst. A57, 87-100] is carefully distinguished from the newer one-center probability distribution model. In the one-center model, Hirshfeld atoms are used, and the Hirshfeld atom based X-ray constrained wavefunction (HA-XCW) procedure is described for the first time, as well as its efficient implementation. In this context, the definition of the related X-ray wavefunction refinement (XWR) method is refined. The key halting problem for the XCW method - the procedure by which one determines when overfitting has occurred - is named and work on it reviewed.
