Definition
Friedel's law, or rule, states that the intensities of the h, k, l and [math]{\bar h}, {\bar k}, {\bar l}[/math] reflections are equal. This is true either if the crystal is centrosymmetric or if no resonant scattering is present. It is in that case not possible to tell by diffraction whether an inversion centre is present or not. The apparent symmetry of the crystal is then one of the eleven Laue classes.
The reason for Friedel's rule is that the diffracted intensity is proportional to the square of the modulus of the structure factor, |Fh|2, according to the geometrical, or kinematical theory of diffraction. It depends similarly on the modulus of the structure factor according to the dynamical theory of diffraction. The structure factor is given by
[math]F_h = \sum_j f_j {\exp(2 \pi i} \mathbf{h} . \mathbf{r_j})[/math]
where fj is the atomic scattering factor of atom j, h the reflection vector and [math]{\bold r_j}[/math] the position vector of atom j. It follows that
[math]|F_h|^2 = F_h F_h^* = F_h F_{\bar h} = |F_{\bar h}|^2 [/math]
if the atomic scattering factor, fj, is real. The intensities of the h, k, l and [math]{\bar h}, {\bar k}, {\bar l}[/math] reflections are then equal. If the crystal is absorbing, however, due to resonant scattering, the atomic scattering factor is complex and
[math]F_{\bar h} \ne F_h^*[/math].
The reflections h, k, l and [math]{\bar h}, {\bar k}, {\bar l}[/math] are called a Friedel pair. They are used in the resolution of the phase problem for the solution of crystal structures and in the determination of absolute structure.
History
Friedel's law was stated by G. Friedel (1865-1933) in 1913 [Friedel, G. (1913). C.R. Acad. Sci. Paris, 157, 1533-1536. Sur les symétries cristallines que peut révéler la diffraction des rayons X].
