What do the coloured ((DP)), ((DU)) and [[P]] symbols mean on the issue pages?

0

((DP)) or ((DU)) next to the structure formula in the left hand column indicates that the crystal structure in the corresponding CIF file is disordered. ((DP)) indicates that our system could resolve the disorder and display the major occupied structure from the crystal. ((DU)) indicates that the system could not understand the disorder, and hence the structure shown will still contain all of the disorder information. [[P]] indicates that the structure is a polymeric organometal. This is noted as polymeric structures are represented by the system by displaying the unit cell with all of its atoms, rather than trying to display a discrete moiety.
