Acta Cryst A. 53:1997;225-235 New method to solve the packing problem using a scoring function derived from statistical data obtained from observed crystal structures. In a first application, 98% of 132 crystal structures with P1, and 85% of 95 structures with P 1 symmetry taken from the CSD, were detected by the algorithm. The authors claim that their method is several orders of magnitude faster than existing algorithms. A direct comparison to other methods concerning speed and reliability would clearly be of great interest.

Chem Eur J. 3:1997;893-899 Study on the possibility to go beyond the ('static') packing problem by including kinetic and thermodynamic effects in order to actually predict molecular crystal structures. It is found that in MD simulations of a solution of the dimer of tetrolic acid up to 10% of the simulation time, one of the two hydrogen bonds present in the dimer broke and thus yielded a so-called 'precursors' for the catemer binding motive found in the β-crystal structure.

Again, a MD simulation of the solution of the dimer in carbon tetrachloride showed a precursor of the catemer motif found in the crystal. MD simulations were also performed on the crystal and the liquid phase and it an attempt was made to compute various thermodynamic state functions.
