Dear Ignacio Borge,

thank You for the kind words.

However, entry 1010267 does not contain a bug. Since the experiment was
conducted quite a while a go (in 1936 to be exact!) the authors simply were
not able to determine the hydrogen positions reliably. As a result, only
the coordinates of heavy atoms were described in the publication.

In situations like these, the hydrogen atoms are sometimes marked using the
*_atom_site_attached_hydrogens* data item, i.e. the coordinate loop from
entry 1010267:

loop_
_atom_site_label
_atom_site_type_symbol
_atom_site_symmetry_multiplicity
_atom_site_Wyckoff_symbol
_atom_site_fract_x
_atom_site_fract_y
_atom_site_fract_z
_atom_site_occupancy
*_atom_site_attached_hydrogens*
_atom_site_calc_flag
Co1 Co2+ 1 a 0. 0. 0. 1. *0* d
O1 O2- 2 d 0.3333 0.6667 0.22 1. *1* d

denotes that the 'O1' atom has 1 attached hydrogen for which explicit
coordinates are not provided.

Hope this help. Feel free to write if You have any more questions.

Sincerely,
Antanas Vaitkus
