Hi Tobias,

I don't know of any specific claims made about this but you'd better check the 
data yourself if you find an example. A nice paper by Bill Hunter and his team 
(http://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?S1744309111005835) showed a case where 
Co2+ was an essential ion for crystallisation , but it was overlooked by the 
original depositors of the model. Not being in a model does not show that it's 
really not there. 

Cheers,
Robbie
