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 mole

The UPACK program package for crystal structure generation was used to build hypothetical crystal structures for 32 pyranoses and 24 polyalcohols. A subset of these was used to compare six force fields in their ability to reproduce the experimentally observed structures, preferably with low energies
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
## Abstract This article introduces an efficient method to generate structural models for mediumβsized silicon clusters. Geometrical information obtained from previous investigations of small clusters is initially sorted and then introduced into our predictor algorithm in order to generate structur
