摘要
A crystal ball? A new method for crystal structure prediction combines a tailor-made force field with a density functional theory method incorporating a van der Waals correction for dispersive interactions. In a blind test, the method predicts the correct crystal structure for all four compounds, one of which is a cocrystal. The picture shows the predicted structure of one of the compounds in green and the experimental structure in blue. (Figure Presented). © 2008 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
