23. 3 indicates 32 molecules in the cell. Systematic absences of diffraction lines showed that the space group is Pbca and therefore there are four independent molecules to be found, comprising 48 non-hydrogen atoms. Attempts to solve the structure by direct methods failed.

32. Accounting for the variation of the overall thermal factor with temperature was not necessary to obtain comparable Pawley fits at each temperature and a set of intensities that was good enough to solve the structure. The uncertainty in peak intensity introduced by neglecting this factor is small compared to the uncertainty resulting from peak overlap in a single pattern.
