A theoretical investigation of diffraction in a rectangular 
crystal for nonsymmetrical coplanar scattering has been undertaken. The asymmetry in the scattering geometry, measured by an angle 
, causes different weights for the mixed Laue-Bragg contributions to the integrated power. Primary extinction and ordinary absorption are only moderately affected when the value of the geometrical parameter 
, 
being the Bragg angle. For increasing values of 
and the surface integration set-up for the Laue and Bragg regions is extensively changed, leading to pronounced effects. Analytical results for the normal absorption factor are presented.
