The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F^2^, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F^2^. The threshold expression of F^2^ > 2sigma(F^2^) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F^2^ are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. ; _refine_ls_structure_factor_coef Fsqd _refine_ls_matrix_type full _refine_ls_weighting_scheme calc _refine_ls_weighting_details 'calc w=1/[\s^2^(Fo^2^)+(0.0865P)^2^+1.1176P] where P=(Fo^2^+2Fc^2^)/3' _atom_sites_solution_primary direct _atom_sites_solution_secondary difmap _atom_sites_solution_hydrogens geom _refine_ls_hydrogen_treatment constr _refine_ls_extinction_method SHELXL _refine_ls_extinction_coef 0.048(5) _refine_ls_extinction_expression Fc^*^=kFc[1+0.001xFc^2^\l^3^/sin(2\q)]^-1/4^ _refine_ls_number_reflns 4634 _refine_ls_number_parameters 284 _refine_ls_number_restraints 6 _refine_ls_R_factor_all 0.0802 _refine_ls_R_factor_gt 0.0597 _refine_ls_wR_factor_ref 0.1671 _refine_ls_wR_factor_gt 0.1515 _refine_ls_goodness_of_fit_ref 1.057 _refine_ls_restrained_S_all 1.076 _refine_ls_shift/su_max 0.007 _refine_ls_shift/su_mean 0.001 loop_ _atom_site_label _atom_site_type_symbol _atom_site_fract_x _atom_site_fract_y _atom_site_fract_z _atom_site_U_iso_or_equiv _atom_site_adp_type _atom_site_occupancy _atom_site_symmetry_multiplicity _atom_site_calc_flag _atom_site_refinement_flags _atom_site_disorder_assembly _atom_site_disorder_group B1 B 0.1253(2) 0.68688(11) 0.63248(18) 0.0284(5) Uani 1 1 d .
