90. -1. These are the largest differences that appear between results of pixel calculations and more extensive quantum chemical calculations, and they all concern extreme cases (exactly overlapping rings, double contacts between H and electronegative atoms at close range). For less extreme situations, the performance of pixel is astonishingly good in comparison with much more expensive procedures. In any case, we still do not see compelling evidence for considering C-H⋯X interactions (X = N, O, F) as the prime definers of crystal structure. Taking into account the above uncertainties, our calculations show that the stabilization energy due to C-H⋯X interactions is typically less than that owing to stacking interactions or at most on a par with them, even with such 'extreme' molecules as benzoquinone and trifluorobenzene.
