The Flack parameter, often denoted as \\( f \\), is a term used in crystallography to describe the absolute configuration of a chiral molecule. It is particularly relevant when analyzing the results of X-ray crystallography experiments, where the precise arrangement of atoms in a crystal is determined. The Flack parameter provides information about the enantiomeric composition of the crystal structure.
