A very likely possibility (but there may be others) is merohedral twinning, which can and often does occur in this space group, and these are typical R-values you would get stuck to in case of partial merohedral twinning. Checking the log file of truncate should be informative in this respect.

Also: there cannot be three molecules in the unit cell as this space group has six asymmetric units. You probably mean three molecules in the asymmetric unit. Since crystallography is an exact science, one needs to be correct.

Dear All

I have a data at 2.75A. I process it in Space group P3121, using HKL3000.
Run a molrep,find three molecule in a unit cell. I am trying to refine it
with phenix, the R and R-free stuck at 34 and 41 respectively.

Crystal: The crystal seems multiple thin plates and I tried to freeze the
possible single crystal (plate).

Any suggestion would be highly appreciated!!
