The sixth blind test of organic crystal structure prediction (CSP) methods has been held, with five target systems: a small nearly rigid molecule, polymorphic former drug candidate, chloride salt hydrate, co-crystal and bulky flexible molecule. This seen substantial growth in the number participants, broad range giving unique insight into state art field. Significant progress treating molecules, usage hierarchical approaches to ranking structures, application density-functional...
We report on the organization and outcome of fourth blind test crystal structure prediction, an international collaborative project organized to evaluate present state in computational methods predicting structures small organic molecules. There were 14 research groups which took part, using a variety generate rank most likely for four target systems: three single-component 1:1 cocrystal. Participants challenged predict systems, given only their molecular diagrams, while recently determined...
A collaborative workshop was held in May 1999 at the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre to test how well currently available methods of crystal structure prediction perform when given only atomic connectivity for an organic compound. blind conducted on a selection four compounds and wide range methodologies representing, principal computer programs were used. There 11 participants who allowed propose most three structures each No program gave consistently reliable results. However, seven...
Following the interest generated by two previous blind tests of crystal structure prediction (CSP1999 and CSP2001), a third such collaborative project (CSP2004) was hosted Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre. A range methodologies used in searching for ranking likelihood predicted structures is represented amongst 18 participating research groups, although most are based on global minimization lattice energy. Initially participants were given molecular diagrams three molecules asked to...
Following on from the success of previous crystal structure prediction blind tests (CSP1999, CSP2001, CSP2004 and CSP2007), a fifth such collaborative project (CSP2010) was organized at Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre. A range methodologies used by participating groups in order to evaluate ability current computational methods predict structures six organic molecules chosen as targets for this test. The first four targets, two rigid molecules, one semi-flexible molecule 1:1 salt,...
The phenomenon of polymorphism, the ability a molecule to adopt more than one crystal structure, is well-established property crystalline solids. possible variations in physical properties between polymorphs make reliable reproduction form essential for all research using organic materials, as well quality control manufacture. Thus, last two decades have seen both an increase interest polymorphism and availability computer power needed computational prediction structures practical...
Crystal structure prediction for organic molecules requires both the fast assessment of thousands to millions crystal structures and greatest possible accuracy in their relative energies. We describe a lattice simulation program, DMACRYS, emphasizing features that make it suitable use pharmaceutical using accurate anisotropic atom-atom model intermolecular potentials based on theory forces. DMACRYS can optimize energy crystal, calculate second derivative properties, reduce symmetry...
Crystal structure prediction (CSP) studies are not limited to being a search for the most thermodynamically stable crystal structure, but play valuable role in understanding polymorphism, as shown by interdisciplinary where energy landscape has been explored experimentally and computationally. CSP usually produces more plausible structures than known polymorphs. This article illustrates some reasons why: because (i) of approximations calculations, particularly neglect thermal effects (see...
Intermolecular potentials suitable for molecular dynamics or Monte Carlo simulations have been developed dimethyl imidazolium and methyl ethyl ions. The predicted crystal structures were compared with experimental chloride PF− 6 salts found to be satisfactory when the dominant electrostatic interactions modelled by either an accurate distributed multipole description a simplified atomic point charge model. A further simplification of using united atoms in place methylene groups on side...
The first collaborative workshop on crystal structure prediction (CSP1999) has been followed by a second (CSP2001) held at the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre. 17 participants were given only chemical diagram for three organic molecules and invited to test their programs within range of named common space groups. Several different computer used, using methodology wherein molecular model is used construct theoretical structures in groups, usually based minimum calculated lattice...

The analgesic drug paracetamol (acetaminophen) has two reported metastable polymorphs, one with better tabletting properties than the stable form, and another which remains uncharacterized. We have therefore performed a systematic crystal structure prediction search for minima in lattice energy of crystalline paracetamol. monoclinic form is found as global lattice-energy minimum, but there are at least dozen energetically feasible structures found, including well-characterized orthorhombic...
The first CrystEngComm discussion meeting on crystal engineering has demonstrated that the field reached maturity in some areas (for example: design strategies, characterization of solid compounds, topological analysis weak and strong non-covalent interactions), while quest for novel properties engineered at molecular supramolecular levels only recently begun need further research efforts is strongly felt. This Highlight article aims to provide a forward look constructive prospects future...
