14. There does not appear to be any pattern to the thermal ellipsoids except that Cl12, Cl14, Cl22, and Cl24 appear to be elongated along the tangent to the square bonded to Os(3) (one of the osmium atoms of the minor orientation). There is no obvious way to explain this excess vibration about Os(3) and not the other osmium atoms. It may be that the chlorines bound to Os(3) in the minor orientation are at slightly different locations than those associated with the major orientation. They are close enough that they could not be resolved in any maps.
