Theab initiocrystal structure solution from powder diffraction data can be attemptedviadirect methods. If heavy atoms are present, they are usually correctly located; then some crystal chemical information can be exploited to complete the partial structure model. Organic structures are more resistant to direct methods; as an alternative, their molecular geometry is used as prior information for Monte Carlo methods. In this paper, a new procedure is described which combines the information contained in the electron density map provided by direct methods with a Monte Carlo method which uses simulated annealing as a minimization algorithm. A figure of merit has been designed based on the agreement between the experimental and calculated profiles, and on the positions of the peaks in the electron density map. The procedure is completely automatic and has been included inEXPO; its performance has been validated and tested for a set of known molecular structures.

Complete Basis Set

Quantum chemistry program based on Multiresolution Multiwavelet (MRMW) basis set is much simpler and can be more efficient than the conventional one based on Gaussian basis set in molecular geometry optimization because the Hellmann Fynman Theorem (HFT) holds for the complete space which MRMW provides. It is numerically shown that large Gaussian basis sets can provide the chemical information with chemical accuracy for very small molecular systems despite the incompleteness of their basis set. However, even for the relatively small size molecule of CH4 , the error from the basis set incompleteness results in an error larger than an acceptable chemical accuracy. The advantage of the MRMW complete basis set in vibrational analysis is also discussed.
