Abstract: | We present a generalised procedure for predicting the morphologies and diffraction patterns of molecular crystals. The general purpose program MADFOMSs (Morphologies and Diffraction For Organic Molecular Solids) is described. The success of the approach is illustrated by application to the polymorphs of 5-methyl-2-[(2-nitrophenyl)amino]-3-thiophenecarbonitrile. |
