Abstract

Experimental powder diffraction diagrams, once indexed and decomposed into single diffraction intensities, can be submitted to statistical analysis for the determination of space-group symmetry. A new algorithm is illustrated, which is able to provide, on a quantitative basis, a probability value for each extinction symbol compatible with the previously established lattice symmetry. The algorithm has been implemented in EXPO2004 Altomare, Caliandro, Camalli, Cuocci, Giacovazzo, Moliterni & Rizzi (2004). J. Appl. Cryst. 37, 1025–1028 and has been successfully tested using a large set of experimental data.
