Alert level A THETM01_ALERT_3_A The value of sine(theta_max)/wavelength is less than 0.550 Calculated sin(theta_max)/wavelength = 0.4941
Author Response: The title compound is a minor product from a reaction and crystals were obtained after a complicated procedure lasting several days. All operations had to be performed under strict inert conditions in anhydrous solvents, since it had to be sure that the only water source was the amount of water added deliberately (cf. _publ_section_exptl_prep). The reaction as well as the crystallisation were done several times and only once crystalline material was obtained. The crystal was the best out of this badge, although it was very small and did nor diffract very well. The data set was recorded some years ago on a CAD4 diffractometer, so for the sake of time in combination with a weakly diffracting crystal, the theta(max) value is quite small leading to this problem as well as to several other level A, B and C alerts. Nevertheless, there are more than 9000 observed reflections and the important parts of the structure, i.e. the coordination spheres of the zirconium atoms, show a good resolution. The phenyl substituents as well as the solvent molecule are not improtant for the point that we would like to state with this strucure.

Alert level B PLAT220_ALERT_2_B Large Non-Solvent C Ueq(max)/Ueq(min) ... 4.39 Ratio
Author Response: Several of the phenyl substituents of the triphenylsilanolate ligands might be more appropriatley resolved as disordered due to a rotation around the carbon silicon bond. Nevertheless, this would even have worsened the data parameter ratio, so we decided to refine only one conformation. This is also the reason for a number of additional A, B and C level alerts.
