It was possible to collect higher resolution data than attainable with laboratory intrumentation. The prior resolution limit had been 1.86 ?. Crystals were surveyed, and data were collected from 4 that showed increasing resolution. Data remain to be processed fully, but we expect near complete data to 1.4 ?, and some data to 1.25 ?. With additional time to survey larger numbers of crystals for the best-diffracting, it should be possible to complete a data set at 1.25 ? resolution from frozen crystals. This will help determine just how precisely orbitals are overlapped as the substrates in this analog complex for a bimolecular reaction are aligned for catalysis.
