This is not my experience. Provided the solvent is featureless, I find
that a high solvent contents leads to a lower Rfree due to a kind of
solvent flattening effect. Of course, if a significant part of the
molecule(s) is/are disordered, this will lead to a degradation of the
Rfree. 

My 2 cents,
Herman

Hi Seema,

Small addition to the already abundant suggestions, if you have high
solvent content or significant portion of non-observable density, you
normally get higher R-free.
