Extraction of directional electron-density features from diffraction data using spherical-harmonic decomposition
Directional anisotropy in electron density provides key information about chemical bonding that is not readily accessible from conventional electron density maps. Here, a model-independent framework is presented for decomposing experimental structure factors into angular components using spherical harmonics. Reciprocal-space projection onto spherical harmonics followed by standard Fourier…
