260 structures published in Inorganica Chimica Acta present some problem about their
crystal and molecular symmetry, moreover 41 compounds have been already corrected in
this journal or in other journals. The unavailability of the structure factors tables has
prevented a complete correction, in fact, we have reached a definitive result only for 52
crystalline compounds. These are divided into five categories:(A) incorrect Laue Group (19

260 structures published in Inorganica Chimica Acta present some problem about their crystal and molecular symmetry, moreover 41 compounds have been already corrected in this journal or in other journals. The unavailability of the structure factors tables has prevented a complete correction, in fact, we have reached a definitive result only for 52 crystalline compounds. These are divided into five categories: (A) incorrect Laue Group (19 examples), (B) omission of a centre of symmetry (20 examples), (C) incorrect Laue group and omission of a centre of symmetry (one example) (D) omission of a centre of symmetry coupled with a failure to recognize systematic absences (10 examples) and finally (E) non-space group translations (two examples). Moreover, other 44 examples of non-space group translations might be present, but we have not reached a definitive result for the unavailability of the structure factor tables.
