If the information is out there and had been published, then I do not
see the point why it cannot be used to get your story out. I assumed
that you will cite their Acta F paper.
You might ended up waiting for a long time to get your structure out,
so why wait? It also depends whose project is it. If it is a project
of a PhD student (like me), getting it published as soon as possible
(and even if it is a low impact) is important career stepping stone. I
do agree though that contacting the (competing) authors of the Acta F
is the best advised.
Also, not because you published your structure means the other group
cannot published their structure.

Quoting "Lukacs, Christine" <christine.luk...@roche.com>:
I'd like to get a community opinion on something.
If a group has published crystallization and diffraction data (Acta
Cryst F style crystallization report), and you happen to have the
same crystal form and have solved the structure, is there an
unspoken rule that you don't publish, or an amount of time that you
wait to allow the other group to publish before you do? I am not
talking about a high impact structure with a race to publish.
Just looking for a general consensus.
Thanks
