A seventh blind test of crystal structure prediction was organized by the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre featuring seven target systems varying complexity: a silicon and iodine-containing molecule, copper coordination complex, near-rigid cocrystal, polymorphic small agrochemical, highly flexible drug candidate, morpholine salt. In this first two parts focusing on generation methods, many (CSP) methods performed well for but agrochemical compound, successfully reproducing...
A seventh blind test of crystal structure prediction has been organized by the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre. The results are presented in two parts, with this second part focusing on methods for ranking structures order stability. exercise involved standardized sets seeded from a range generation methods. Participants 22 groups applied several periodic DFT-D methods, machine learned potentials, force fields derived empirical data or quantum chemical calculations, and various...
A workflow for the digital design of crystallization processes starting from chemical structure active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is a multistep, multidisciplinary process. simple version would be to first predict API crystal and, it, corresponding properties solubility, morphology, and growth rates, assuming that nucleation controlled by seeding, then use these parameters This usually an oversimplification as most APIs are polymorphic, stable alone may not have required development...
Crystal structure prediction methods are prone to overestimate the number of potential polymorphs organic molecules. In this work, we aim reduce overprediction by systematically applying molecular dynamics simulations and biased sampling cluster subsets structures that can easily interconvert at finite temperature pressure. Following approach, rationally predicted putative in crystal (CSP)-generated energy landscapes. This uses an unsupervised clustering approach analyze independent...

The molecular structures of the first and second generation Sulflowers, Sulflower Persulfurated Coronene (PSC), are remarkably similar: carbon ring decorated with sulfur atoms, without any additional moiety. However, their crystallisability is starkly different, Sulfower easily forming well-characterised crystals, but PSC only resulting in amorphous forms, despite extensive experimental efforts. Here this phenomenon investigated using Crystal Structure Prediction (CSP) methods to generate...
Since 1999 the Crystal Structure Prediction (CSP) blind tests, a community initiative currently coordinated by Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC), have provided state-of-the-art CSP methods with an opportunity to validate and benchmark methodologies against unpublished data, subsequent publications capturing developments made over years providing readers overview of available indevelopment [1][2][3][4][5][6].The 7 th test saw participation from 129 researchers belonging 28 groups...
