The simple planar molecule acridine is polymorphically promiscuous, with, at latest count, eight distinct unsolvated forms, and one hydrate. This makes it a compelling model system to study its polymorphism, as this represents a challenge to our understanding of crystallization.

Open questions in organic crystal polymorphism

Polymorphs, crystals with different structure and properties but the same molecular composition, arise from the subtle interplay between thermodynamics and kinetics during crystallisation. In this…

Phosphangulene: A Molecule for All Chemists.

Because substituted members of the phosphangulene family have awkward curved shapes that cannot be packed efficiently, they have emerged as highly effective partners for cocrystallizing fullerenes and for using concave-convex interactions to control how fulle Renes can be organized in materials.

Influence of halogen size on the supramolecular and energy landscape of the THF solvates of the halogen derivatives of dianthranilide

Transforming Computed Energy Landscapes into Experimental Realities: The Role of Structural Rugosity

This work exploits the possible link between structural surface roughness and difficulty of crystallisation and reveals a promising complementary way of ranking putative crystal structures.

Challenging the Ostwald rule of stages in mechanochemical cocrystallisation†‡

It is shown that modification of energy input in the mechanochemical system, combined with a small energy difference between polymorphs, permits the selective synthesis of either the more stable room temperature form, or the new metastable high-temperature form, of the target cocrystal.

Widely used crystal structure prediction models based on density functional theory can perform poorly for conformational polymorphs, but a new model corrects those polymorph stability rankings.

Calculation of Diamagnetic Susceptibility Tensors of Organic Crystals: From Coronene to Pharmaceutical Polymorphs

The calculation of the macroscopic diamagnetic susceptibility tensor, χcryst, for organic molecular crystals using periodic density functional methods is developed and a tensor addition method is developed to approximate the crystal diam magnetic susceptibility tensors from the molecular one,χmol, giving good agreement with those calculated directly using the more costly periodicdensity functional method for χ Cryst.

Multi-Fidelity Statistical Machine Learning for Molecular Crystal Structure Prediction.

This work applies statistical machine learning to predict expensive hybrid functional DFT (PBE0) calculations using a multi-fidelity approach to re-evalute the energies of crystal structures predicted with an inexpensive force field, using an autoregressive Gaussian process.
