Possible crystal structures of acetic acid were generated, considering eight space groups and assuming one molecule in the asymmetric unit. Our grid-search method was compared with a Monte Carlo approach as implemented in the BiosymrMSI Polymorph Predictor. This revealed no sampling deficiencies. A

โฆ Synopsis
State-of-the-art molecular modeling tools were used to predict the crystal structure of eniluracil, a compound for which it has not been possible to grow a single crystal. Two methods were used, one that incorporates molecular structure and powder X-ray diffraction data and another that employs molecular structure and lattice energy calculations into the search algorithm. Two structures were identiยฎed, one with P2 1 /c and the other with P2 1 symmetry, both of which are consistent with the infrared and Raman spectra. A detailed analysis of the simulated and experimental powder X-ray diffraction patterns indicates that the P2 1 /c structure is the best representation of the crystal structure.
