The crystal structure model of decafluorocyclohex-1-ene at 4.2 K derived from simulated powder diffraction data and solid-state energy minimization [Smrčok et al. (2013). Acta Cryst. B69, 395-404] is found to be incomplete. In this study it is completed by an additional alternative molecular orientation revealed from the difference density analysis and direct space search. The structure is refined by the derivative difference method in the rigid-body approximation leading to perfect agreement between observed and calculated neutron powder patterns.
Keywords: derivative difference minimization; disorder; neutron powder diffraction; solid-state energy minimization.
