26. The greatest difference in accuracy and overall costs between a conventional detector and a CCD area-detector collection is reached when dealing with large cell volumes, nevertheless the best absolute accuracy is still available when dealing with small volumes.
27. The contamination of λ/2 has been demonstrated to be negligible for both crystal structure determination (Kirschbaum, K.; Martin, A.; Pinkerton, A. A. J. Appl. Crystallogr. 1997, 30, 514-516) and accurate charge density studies (ref 7b), thus a high voltage setting is not incorrect.

We use it to verify that the expansion of the set of parameters by including a higher multipole gave significant improvement to the fit.
