The following ALERTS were generated. Each ALERT has the format
       test-name_ALERT_alert-type_alert-level.
Click on the hyperlinks for more details of the test.

Alert level A REFNR01_ALERT_3_A Ratio of reflections to parameters is < 6 for a centrosymmetric structure sine(theta)/lambda 0.3859 Proportion of unique data used 1.0000 Ratio reflections to parameters 4.0000
Author Response: Too avoid problems with twinning, we needed to select a very small sample that then did produce a good data set jet did not scatter well. As a result, more reflections at higher angle in theta turned out to be too low in intensity to be counted in the data statistics. No reflections were missing in the list of systematically absent reflections required for deriving the space group.
THETM01_ALERT_3_A  The value of sine(theta_max)/wavelength is less than 0.550

Publication of your CIF

You should always attempt to resolve as many as possible of the alerts in all categories. Often the minor alerts point to easily fixed oversights, errors and omissions in your CIF or refinement strategy, so attention to these fine details can be worthwhile. In order to resolve some of the more serious problems it may be necessary to carry out additional measurements or structure refinements. However, the nature of your study may justify the reported deviations from the submission requirements of the journal and these should be commented upon in the discussion or experimental section of a paper - after all, they might represent an interesting feature.

If you wish to submit your CIF for publication in Acta Crystallographica Section C or E, you should upload your CIF via the web. If your CIF is to form part of a submission to another IUCr journal, you will be asked, either during electronic submission or by the Co-editor handling your paper, to upload your CIF via our web site.
