Actually, I tried to load a CIF file in the Crystal Explorer Software. But shows error like "Error Processing CIF - There is an error in the Tonto stdout file, and no data has been loaded. The stdout file will be shown for inspection (Screenshot Attached)." Kindly help me to rectify this problem. Thanks in advance.
Hi did you find a solution? I am currently struggling with the same problem
Sorry for sure you solved the problem.
You get the error because the CIF file is not "correct" (not standard) .
The easiest way (works 90% of time) is using Mercury to open the CIF and the save it again as CIF (now mercury will add strings that helps in opening it).
Still it could happens that there are some mismatch in the originated mercury CIF file, then you can use encifer (https://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/solutions/software/encifer/) to see if there are warning or error in the file and fix it (you can also open it with a text editor such as Notepad and correct the line in which the error is reported).
