What the paper reports

The authors incorporated multiple-scattering effects into continuous-rotation 3D electron diffraction refinement. Comparisons across 12 compounds improved structural models, and absolute-structure assignments were evaluated using 58 crystals of nine chiral compounds. The work provides a methodological basis for stereochemical assignment; its benchmark does not establish a universal success rate for pharmaceutical samples.

Why this paper is included

A key methods paper for pharmaceutical stereochemistry, showing why dynamical refinement should be distinguished from conventional kinematical refinement.

The interpretation above is analysis, not a conclusion attributed to the original source.
