The title compounds, C17H13NO2S, (I), C17H13NO3S, (II), and C24H17ClN2O5S·CHCl3, (III), are indole derivatives. Compounds (I) and (II) crystalize with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. The indole ring systems in all three structures deviate only slightly from planarity, with dihedral angles between the planes of the pyrrole and benzene rings spanning the tight range 0.20 (9)–1.65 (9)°. These indole ring systems, in turn, are almost orthogonal to the phenylsulfonyl rings [range of dihedral angles between mean planes = 77.21 (8)–89.26 (8)°]. In the three compounds, the molecular structure is stabilized by intramolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds, generatingS(6) ring motifs with the sulfone O atom. In compounds (I) and (II), the two independent molecules are linked by C—H...O hydrogen bonds and C—H...π interactions, while in compound (III), the molecules are linked by C—H...O hydrogen bonds, generatingR22(22) inversion dimers.

Rietveld refinements generally fail, if the lattice parameters of the structural model differ more than slightly from the correct lattice parameters and the simulated reflections do not overlap with the experimental ones. For molecular crystals, we have developed a more robust fitting algorithm, which uses the cross-correlation function of calculated and experimental powder patterns, and allows a FIt with DEviating Lattice parameters (FIDEL). The method is also successful for nanocrystalline organic compounds showing only 10-20 peaks in their powder diagrams. The FIDEL method has proven to be useful for various applications, including refinements starting from (1) structure data of an isostructural chemical derivative; (2) structure data of an isostructural hydrate or solvate; (3) structure data from measurements at another temperature (e.g. for fitting a room-temperature powder diagram starting with a structure determined from a single-crystal measurement at 100K). FIDEL is also used for determining crystal structures from non-indexed powder diagrams of nanocrystalline organic compounds. Three steps are performed: (1) Prediction of possible crystal structures in various space groups using global lattice-energy minimizations by force-field methods. (2) FIDEL fit of 100 to 600 low-energy structures to the experimental powder pattern. The structure candidate leading to the correct structure results in a significantly better fit than all other structures. (3) Rietveld refinement. The FIDEL method was used to determine the hitherto unknown crystal structure of the nanocrystalline alpha-phase of 2,9-dichloroquinacridone (C20H10Cl2N2O2). The upper part of the figure shows the experimental powder pattern and the simulated powder diagram of one of the predicted low-energy structures before any fitting. The lower part displays the result of the FIDEL fit, before the Rietveld refinement.

The thermal decomposition of organic peroxides are widely used as coagulant for organic compounds, however, its thermal hazardous characteristics have already caused serious accidents in chemical industries, which limited its application in much more strict conditions. Organic peroxides of C18H10O11 and C18H18O7 are two new candidates fitted for industrial explosive. However, as we best known there is little reports available on the geometry structure in the past decades. In this work, by means of quantum chemistry calculation, the relation of safety with molecular structure of C18H10O11 and C18H18O7 are discussed. The molecules with more activity O and the activity part more dispersedly exhibit higher stable, and the configuration has good safety. All the energy of molecule b is higher than that of molecule a. The stability of different configurations are 6a>7a>8a>9a>5a>1a>4a>3a=2a and 1b>7b>5b>6b>4b>2b>3b>8b, respectively, suggesting the structures of 6a,3a,2a,1b,8b exhibit high safety.
