Some errors from the crystallographic literature, some amplifications and a questionable result.

The space groups of [[Mo(2)(O(2)CCH(3))(4)('linker')](n)] are corrected from P1 to C2/m for 'linker' = pyrazine and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (dabco) and from P1 to C2/c for 'linker' = 4,4'-bipyridine. Also, [[tris-(2-pyridylmethyl)amine]BrV(mu-O)VBr[tris-(2-pyridylmethyl)amine]]Br.H(2)O is corrected from P1 to C2/c. These Laue class changes allow more reliable crystallochemical comparisons to be made among families of related structures. Space groups are corrected for 4-methyl-2,6-bis(4-methylbenzylidene)cyclohexanone, 2,6-bis(4-dimethylaminobenzylidene)cyclohexanone, K[Cr(tetramethylenediamine-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetate)].H(2)O and [bis(11,-11-dimethyl-3,4:8,9-dibenzobicyclo[4.4.1]undeca-3,8-diene)-(tetracyanoethylene)]. The conflicting reports for Cu(H(2)O)-(phenanthroline)(2)(X)(2), where X = ClO(4), NO(3) and BF(4), are resolved. Three related examples of open framework host-guest structures with space groups 'Cc or C2/c' are discussed. Adding centers to 2,2'-bi-1H-imidazolium dipicrate and [tris(2,2'-bi-1H-imidazole)bis[2-(2-1H-imidazolyl)-1H-imidazolium]bis(iodide)] corrects discrepancies of up to 0.38 A between chemically similar hydrogen-bond distances. Wrongly identified atoms are corrected in theta-[bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene](2) (CsCd)(SCN)(4) and (purported) diaquadihydroxotetrakis(m-nitrobenzenesulfonate)discandium(III). The reported difference between the crystal structure of (CH(3)NH(3))(4)YbCl(7) and those of the other members of this family of (CH(3)NH(3))(4)MX(7) (M = In, Fe, V; X = Cl, Br) structures is pointed out in the context of possibly different N-H...Cl hydrogen bonding in the Yb structure.

Some 60 new space-group corrections.

Some 60 examples of crystal structures are presented which can be better described in space groups of higher symmetry than used in the original publications. These are divided into three categories: (A) incorrect Laue group (33 examples), (B) omission of a center of symmetry (22 examples), (C) omission of a center of symmetry coupled with a failure to recognize systematic absences (nine examples). Category A errors do not lead to significant errors in molecular geometry, but these do accompany the two other types of error. There are 19 of the current set of examples which have publication dates of 1996 or later. Critical scrutiny on the part of authors, editors and referees is needed to eliminate such errors in order not to impair the role of crystal structure analysis as the chemical court of last resort.
