Dear,

Sorry for the off-topic question.
I'm facing a (probably) merohedral twinning problem, regarding a small molecule.

Using Xprep, I get a Hexagonal P-lattice with cell:
18.014  18.014  22.048   90.00   90.00  120.00

Mean |E*E-1| = 0.902 [expected .968 centrosym and .736 non-centrosym]


However, based on the systematic absence exceptions, the probable (apparent) SG's are:
P6(3)/m (Laue '6/m')
P6(3) (Laue '6')
P6(3)22 (Laue '622')

              61/65 62=31  63    -c-   --c

N            60      50         36     2471  1420
N I>3s   19      19         0       420      161
<I>        186.6 223.1   4.6     30.0    15.5
<I/s>      2.3     2.6       0.3     1.6       1.2

I know there is a twin law to transform the (apparent) Laue group '6/ m' to the (true) Laue group '-3' (TWIN law -1 0 0 0 -1 0 0 0 1) and merging the data in a trigonal SG, but this is not solving the structure at all...


Has anyone noticed a similar case that could be of any help please..?

Many thanks

Kristof
