I will pass this to the core DMG as clearly this is a data name that is useful, as shown by your ref [2].
The core DMG support the addition of this data name to the dictionary. Given its origin, we will need to include the all underscore version as an alias.
Issue resolved by merging PR #234. Thanks, @rowlesmr.
In the 267887 revision of the COD there are over 1000 files that contain the
_exptl_absorpt_special_details
data item, although, no such item is defined in theCIF_CORE
dictionary.My initial assumption was that this data item was simply used instead of the properly defined
_exptl_absorpt_process_details
data item. However, some additional analysis revealed that in ~800 cases out of the 1000, both the_exptl_absorpt_special_details
and the_exptl_absorpt_process_details
data items are defined and often with differing values. For example, COD entry 7060029 [1] contains the following data item values:_exptl_absorpt_process_details
:_exptl_absorpt_special_details
:I am unsure where the
_exptl_absorpt_special_details
tag originated from, however, I have noticed that all of the affected files seem to be generated by SHELXL. What is more, I found some SHELX-related material online [2] that provides a usage example of the_exptl_absorpt_special_details
data item (see slide "Comments on sample absorption correction").[1] http://www.crystallography.net/cod/7060029.cif@258905 [2] https://chemistry.harvard.edu/files/chemistry/files/tutorial_using_shelx_for_neutrons.pdf
