41. 3. This means that there is only one molecule in the unit cell. Because the molecule itself does not possess an inversion center (the oxygen atom breaks the symmetry), the natural conclusion is that the space group must be P 1. However, when solved in P 1, peaks in the initial electron density map clearly display inversion symmetry. So albeit the space group must be P 1, the molecule is disordered with the oxygen atom having two possible positions depending on the microscopic cell (a twin hypothesis was also tested but did not seem to be appropriate). On average, the space group cannot be distinguished from P 1̄ and the structure refinement performs much better in this space group. First of all this description constrains all atoms with an inversion center and the oxygen population to 0.5. Second, the thermal ellipsoids appear more reasonable and the resulting difference Fourier reveals many of the hydrogen atoms which was not the case when attempted refined in P 1.
