This test has failed due to what is probably an incorrectly formatted
author/address loop. Usual errors encountered in this loop are due to an
incorrect number of elements being given in the loop, or misuse of ;
(semi-colon) delimiters in order to get the CIF to pass checkCIF. If there
are no footnotes to be included in the author/address loop then the loop
should have the form as below,

loop_
_publ_author_name
_publ_author_address
'Bowes, Katharine F.' # Format is 'Surname, Firstnames'

When footnotes are required, then the format is as below. Note the use of . as
a placeholder for entries not requiring a footnote.

PUBL_024 Large number of authors. The number of authors is greater than 6. Please specify the
role of each of the co-authors for your paper.

The co-authors of a paper should be all those who have made
significant scientific contributions to the work reported and
who share responsibility and accountability for the results.
An administrative, or similar, relationship to the work does
not of itself qualify a person for co-authorship.
/td>
PUBL_022 Mismatched subscript operators. A line has been found with mismatched subscript operators(~).
If you require a single ~ (tilde) then this must be escaped with a \.
e.g. the time taken was \~ 3 seconds.
Otherwise there should be pairs of matching ~, e.g. C~3~H~8~O
which would signify C3H8O.
PUBL_023 Mismatched superscript operators. A line has been found with mismatched superscript operators(^).
If you require a single ^ (caret) then this must be escaped with a \. i.e. \^
Otherwise there should be pairs of matching ^, e.g. ^12^C
which would signify 12C.
PUBL_025 _publ_section_comment _publ_section_comment is more than 400 words.
For Acta Crystallographica Section E the Comment section
is usually expected to be no more than 400 words. Please
shorten your Comment if you intend to submit to Section E.
This limit does not apply to Acta Crystallographica Section C.
PUBL_026 _publ_section_comment _publ_section_comment is less than 200 words.
For Acta Crystallographica Section C the Comment section
is usually expected to be longer than 200 words. Please
refer to the Notes for Authors for more details.
