The crystal structure of Na(NH4)Mo3O10·H2O has been solved by parallel tempering using the FOX software package with synchrotron powder diffraction data obtained from beamline 08B1-1 at the Canadian Light Source. Rietveld refinement, performed with the software package GSAS, yielded orthorhombic lattice parameters of a = 13.549 82(10), b = 7.618 50(6), and c = 9.302 74(7) Å (Z = 4, space group Pnma). The structure is composed of molybdate chains running parallel to the b-axis. The Rietveld refinement results were compared with density functional theory calculations performed with CRYSTAL14, and show excellent agreement with the calculated structure.

Density functional theory calculations on E(SbMe2)2, E = S or Te, Me = CH3, indicate that the equilibrium structures are syn-syn or near syn-syn conformers with overall C2v or C2 symmetry. The calculations further indicate the existence of syn-anti conformers about 4 kJ mol-1 (E = S) or 1 kJ m ol-1 (E = Te) above the equilibrium structure. G as electron diffraction data show that both conform ers are present in gaseous S(SbMe2)2, while the presence of the syn-anti conformer in gaseous Te(SbMe2)2 is uncertain. The Sb - S and Sb - Te bond distances are 241.4(4) and 278.1(3) pm, respectively, the valence angles of the synsyn conformers are <SbSSb = 9 8.7(5)° and <SbTeSb = 91(2)°.

The crystal structure of trandolapril has been solved by parallel tempering using the FOX software package with laboratory powder diffraction data submitted to and published in the Powder Diffraction File. Rietveld refinement was performed with the software package GSAS yielding orthorhombic lattice parameters of a = 19.7685(4), b = 15.0697(4), and c = 7.6704(2) Å (C24H34N2O5, Z = 4, space group P212121). The Rietveld refinement results were compared with density functional theory (DFT) calculations performed with CRYSTAL14. While the structures are similar, discrepancies are observed in the configuration of the octahydroindole ring between the Rietveld and DFT structures, suggesting the refined and calculated molecules are diastereomers.

The crystal structure of citalopram hydrobromide has been solved and refined using synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data, and optimized using density functional theory techniques. Citalopram hydrobromide crystallizes in space group P21/c (#14) with a = 10.766 45(6), b = 33.070 86(16), c = 10.892 85(5) Å, β = 90.8518(3)°, V = 3878.03(4) Å3, and Z = 8. N–H⋯Br hydrogen bonds are important to the structure, but the crystal energy is dominated by van der Waals attraction. The powder pattern was submitted to International Centre for Diffraction Data for inclusion in the Powder Diffraction File™.

X -ray diffraction becomes a routine process these decades for determining crystal structure of the materials. Most of the crystal structures solved nowadays is based on single crystal X-ray diffraction because it solves the crystal and molecular structures from small molecules to macro molecules without much human intervention. However it is difficult to grow single crystals of sufficient size and quality for conventional single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. In such cases it becomes essential that structural information can be determined from powder diffraction data. With the recent developments in the direct-space approaches for structure solution, ab initio crystal structure analysis of molecular solids can be accomplished from X-ray powder diffraction data. It should be recalled that crystal structure determination from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data is a far more difficult task than that of its single-crystal counterpart, particularly when the molecule possesses considerable flexibility or there are multiple molecules in the asymmetric unit. Salicylic acid and its derivatives used as an anti-inflammatory drug are known for its numerous medicinal applications. In our study, we synthesized mononuclear copper (II) complex of salicylate derivative. The structural characterization of the prepared compound was carried out using powder X-ray diffraction studies. Crystal structure of the compound has been solved by direct-space approach and refined by a combination of Rietveld method using TOPAS Academic V4.1. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations have to be carried in the solid state for the compound using GaussianW9.0 in the frame work of a generalized-gradient approximation (GGA). The geometry optimization was to be performed using B3LYP density functional theory. The atomic coordinates were taken from the final X-ray refinement cycle.
