Predicting the Volumes of Crystals [PDF]
New crystal structures are frequently derived by performing ionic substitutions on known crystal structures. These derived structures are then used in further experimental analysis, or as the initial guess for structural optimization in electronic structure calculations, both of which usually require a reasonable guess of the lattice parameters.

End-to-End Crystal Structure Prediction from Powder X-Ray Diffraction. [PDF]
Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) is a prevalent technique in materials characterization. While the analysis of PXRD often requires extensive human manual intervention, and most automated method only achieved at coarse-grained level. The more difficult and important task of fine-grained crystal structure prediction from PXRD remains unaddressed.

Controlling the crystal structure of precisely spaced polyethylene-like polyphosphoesters [PDF]
Understanding polymer crystallization is important for polyethylene-like materials. A small fraction of monomers with functional groups within the polyethylene chain can act as crystallization “defects”.

Crystal structure of pseudoguainolide [PDF]
The lactone ring in the title molecule, C15H22O3(systematic name: 3,4a,8-trimethyldodecahydroazuleno[6,5-b]furan-2,5-dione), assumes an envelope conformation with the methine C atom adjacent to the the methine C atom carrying the methyl substituent being the flap atom.

Crystal structure of vancomycin [PDF]
Vancomycin and other related glycopeptide antibiotics are clinically very important because they often represent the last line of defence against bacteria that have developed resistance to antibiotics. Vancomycin is believed to act by binding nascent cell wall mucopeptides terminating in the sequence D-Ala-D-Ala, weakening the resulting cell wall ...

Crystal structure of ruthenocenecarbonitrile [PDF]
The molecular structure of ruthenocenecarbonitrile, [Ru(η5-C5H4C[triple-bond]N)(η5-C5H5)], exhibits point group symmetrym, with the mirror plane bisecting the molecule through the C[triple-bond]N substituent. The RuIIatom is slightly shifted from the η5-C5H4centroid towards the C[triple-bond]N substituent.
