A detailed description of the crystal structure solution and refinement of a pseudo-merohedrally twinned crystal of an organometallic complex is presented as a guide to the handling of similar non-routine challenging crystal structures. The interpretation of the signs of twinning and the logic behind the selection of the correct space group are explained. In this case the crystal twinning was complicated by pseudo-symmetry of the ionic species and positional disorder of several atoms.
