The first thing I would look at is the |E**2-1| number in the intensity distributions. This should indicate whether centrosymmetric or not. 0.736 for acentric and 0.968 for centric structures. If this is not decisive in small molecules, suspicion is in order, but w/o more stats it is hard to say.

In the literature, there is a compound AB4C2. It was refined with I-4c2 space group and A, B, and C are at 4d, 16i and 8e sites, respectively. I got a new compound AB4D2 which can be refined very well with high symmetry space group, I4/mcm. In my compound A, B, and D are 4a, 16l, and 8h sites, respectively. If I draw both structures, they look same, except some bond distances change. The high symmetry space group is central symmetry and the another one in non-central symmetry, but both have very similar Wyck positions. How do I figure out the symmetry relationship between these two structures? Your help is highly appreciated! Thank you for your time! Best Regards!
