Abstract

A detailed description of the procedures utilized in the non-routine X-ray single-crystal structural determination and refinement of a pseudo-merohedrally twinned crystal of an Fe/Ni organometallic complex is presented. It illustrates to the practitioners of crystallography how to properly handle such cases and describes the logic and concrete steps necessary to account for the twinning, pseudo-symmetry and atomic positional disorder.
