مستخلص: 3D electron diffraction (3D ED), or microcrystal electron diffraction (MicroED), has become an alternative technique for determining the high‐resolution crystal structures of compounds from sub‐micron‐sized crystals. Here, we considered l‐alanine, α‐glycine and urea, which are known to form good‐quality crystals, and collected high‐resolution 3D ED data on our in‐house TEM instrument. In this study, we present a comparison of independent atom model (IAM) and transferable aspherical atom model (TAAM) kinematical refinement against experimental and simulated data. TAAM refinement on both experimental and simulated data clearly improves the model fitting statistics (R factors and residual electrostatic potential) compared to IAM refinement. This shows that TAAM better represents the experimental electrostatic potential of organic crystals than IAM. Furthermore, we compared the geometrical parameters and atomic displacement parameters (ADPs) resulting from the experimental refinements with the simulated refinements, with the periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculations and with published X‐ray and neutron crystal structures. The TAAM refinements on the 3D ED data did not improve the accuracy of the bond lengths between the non‐H atoms. The experimental 3D ED data provided more accurate H‐atom positions than the IAM refinements on the X‐ray diffraction data. The IAM refinements against 3D ED data had a tendency to lead to slightly longer X—H bond lengths than TAAM, but the difference was statistically insignificant. Atomic displacement parameters were too large by tens of percent for l‐alanine and α‐glycine. Most probably, other unmodelled effects were causing this behaviour, such as radiation damage or dynamical scattering. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
