Hi Fabienne, The problem here is that the space group database Avogadro uses doesn't recognize spacegroup C-1 -- the closest I could find was:
13 -P 2ab P 1 1 2/n x,y,z 1/2-x,1/2-y,z -x,-y,-z 1/2+x,1/2+y,-z Which is what you want, except for the sign of the z component of the 2nd and 4th transforms. I've cc'd this to the OpenBabel mailing list -- maybe Jean Brefort (maintainer of the OpenBabel space group code) or someone else will have an idea for a work-around. Hope this helps, Dave On Mon, Mar 5, 2012 at 12:37 PM, <bes...@irsamc.ups-tlse.fr> wrote: > Hello, > > I want to read the following file .cif.
