A new similarity index for automated comparison of powder diagrams is proposed. In contrast to traditionally used similarity indices, the proposed method is valid in cases of large deviations in the cell constants. The refinement according to this index closes the gap between crystal structure prediction and automated crystal structure determination. The opportunities of the new procedure have been demonstrated by crystal structure solution of un-indexed powder diagrams of some organic pigments (PY111, PR181 and Me-PR170).

This work presents the crystal structure determination of two elusive polymorphs of furazidin, an antibacterial agent, employing a combination of crystal structure prediction (CSP) calculations and an NMR crystallography approach. Two previously uncharacterized neat crystal forms, one of which has two symmetry-independent molecules (form I), whereas the other one is a Z′ = 1 polymorph (form II), crystallize in P21/c and P 1 space groups, respectively, and both are built by different conformers, displaying different intermolecular interactions. It is demonstrated that the usage of either CSP or NMR crystallography alone is insufficient to successfully elucidate the above-mentioned crystal structures, especially in the case of the Z′ = 2 polymorph. In addition, cases of serendipitous agreement in terms of 1H or 13C NMR data obtained for the CSP-generated crystal structures different from the ones observed in the laboratory (false-positive matches) are analyzed and described. While for the majority of analyzed crystal structures the obtained agreement with the NMR experiment is indicative of some structural features in common with the experimental structure, the mentioned serendipity observed in exceptional cases points to the necessity of caution when using an NMR crystallography approach in crystal structure determination.

A useful short-cut was developed to limit the number of molecular conformations that need to be regarded in crystal structure prediction calculations, which led to the crystal structure determination of new methanol solvate – hydrate of catechin.

Citrate stabilized silver (Ag) colloidal solution were synthesized and characterized for crystallographic and surface properties by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and zeta potential measurement techniques. TEM investigation depicted the size of Ago ranges from 5 to 50 nm with smaller particles having single crystal structure while larger particles with structural defects (such as multiply twinned, high coalescence and Moire patterns). ?-potential measurement confirms the presence of Ag+ in nAg stock solution. The shift in ?-potential measurement by +25.1 mV in the filtered solution suggests the presence of Ag+ in Ago nanoparticles.
