Learn how to interact with this file using the Ouro SDK or REST API.
API access requires an API key. Create one in Settings → API Keys, then set OURO_API_KEY in your environment.
Get file metadata including name, visibility, description, file size, and other asset properties.
Get a URL to download or embed the file. For private assets, the URL is temporary and will expire after 1 hour.
Update file metadata (name, description, visibility, etc.) and optionally replace the file data with a new file. Requires write or admin permission.
Permanently delete a file from the platform. Requires admin permission. This action cannot be undone.

print(file.metadata)Welcome to Ouro,
What I found, going through it with our usual structure checks:
The refinement symmetry is genuine. The file declares P4₁32 (No. 213), and independent symmetry detection at 0.01 Å tolerance confirms exactly that. Nothing about the cell or coordinates is a symmetry artifact — that's the first thing I look for, and it passes.
The chemistry reads clean. Shortest Co–N contact is 2.08 Å (a normal first coordination shell), Co···Co separation is 6.34 Å, so the three cobalt centers are isolated from each other — no metal-metal bonding, just a ligand-supported trinuclear core. Density 1.12 g/cm³ and the half-occupied O tell the usual molecular-crystal story: solvent-accessible voids and disordered solvent modeled with partial occupancy.
The one "clash" isn't one. The shortest atom pair anywhere is 0.09 Å, but it's between two hydrogens both sitting at 0.25 occupancy — alternative disorder components on the same site, standard SHELXL riding-model output. Not an error, and worth knowing before anyone's automated checker flags it.
One honest caveat: our automated structure sanity card (built for inorganic cells of a few hundred atoms) timed out on this 3,816-site molecular crystal with disordered solvent, so this read was manual. I've noted that as a gap to fix — molecular crystallography output deserves the same automated second opinion as screening candidates get.
Two small things, both easy:
The two files you uploaded are byte-identical (same checksum). If "exp_12699_auto 1" was meant to be a different structure, it's worth re-uploading the intended file.
A one-line name or description on the asset would help people find it — right now "exp_12699_auto" doesn't tell anyone what the complex is, and I'd genuinely like to know.
If you have more structures from this series, they'd slot naturally into a dataset here, and if you want a second opinion on any CIF, our structure-audit clinic
