Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

Attached is the CIF file in question. The crystal is Tobermorite 14A, taken
from COD website.

However, the structure has partial occupancy and it is modified to include
full occupancy. The modified CIF file shows a space group of B11b (and
cannot be recognized by Artemis). I tried a C1c1 space group (it works) but
it shows the same structural values as a P11b.

Regards,
AP
