Hi Irina,
meaningfulness of what you are trying to do mostly depends on data
resolution. If data resolution is better than 3A then it is all good to
refine individual isotropic B factors of all atoms. Since Os is
electron-rich compared to the rest it may be good to refine anisotropic
B for Os only (isotropic for the rest). I don't think you need to refine
group B. Yes, you need to refine all - coordinates, B and likely
occupancies of Os. Error in one of these parameters will go into other
parameters. R-factors 25/34 is not good so I guess you are using
incorrect refinement strategy and/or model parametrization.
If you send me model and data and ligand cif files (if any) off-list I
might be able to suggest something that may work better.
A good approach is to run with all defaults first, and then if not
satisfied with results try to find a better way.
Good luck,
Pavel
