“…The variation in Δχ an cryst between the lowest energy unobserved and all the observed polymorphs merely shows that the crystallization of diclofenac might be affected by a strong magnetic field to favor a new form. A more accurate determination of the free energy differences 20 and studies of the crystallization behavior of the known forms would be required to help decide whether it was worth attempting crystallization of diclofenac in a very strong field. However, the development of efficient and reliable computational methods to determine the differences in the χ cryst tensors of pharmaceutical polymorphs is a first necessary step toward the goal of realizing the potential for the polymorphic control of a crystallization process by a magnetic field.…”

Understanding why crystallization in strong magnetic fields can lead to new polymorphs requires methods to calculate the diamagnetic response of organic molecular crystals. We develop the calculation of the macroscopic diamagnetic susceptibility tensor, χ cryst , for organic molecular crystals using periodic density functional methods. The crystal magnetic susceptibility tensor, χ cryst , for all experimentally known polymorphs, and its molecular counterpart, χ mol , are calculated for flexible pharmaceuticals such as carbamazepine, flufenamic acid, and chalcones, and rigid molecules, such as benzene, pyridine, acridine, anthracene, and coronene, whose molecular magnetic properties have been traditionally studied. A tensor addition method is developed to approximate the crystal diamagnetic susceptibility tensor, χ cryst , from the molecular one, χ mol , giving good agreement with those calculated directly using the more costly periodic density functional method for χ cryst . The response of pharmaceutical molecules and crystals to magnetic fields, as embodied by χ cryst , is largely determined by the packing in the crystal, as well as the molecular conformation. The anisotropy of χ cryst can vary considerably between polymorphs though the isotropic terms are fairly constant. The implications for developing a computational method for predicting whether crystallization in a magnetic field could produce a novel or different polymorph are discussed.

“…Modern tools of the crystal structure prediction (CSP) produce large datasets of thousands or even millions of simulated crystals based on the same chemical composition. [ 1 ] Many of these crystal structures are geometrically similar, because they were obtained as approximations to local minima of a complicated energy. The available similarity tests miss too many nearly identical structures that are ambiguously represented in different ways.…”

“…A dream CSP solution for the pharma industry would be a reliable method to output a short list of only few most stable polymorphs based on a given molecular input. [ 1 ] The drug design will be substantially sped up if one can enrich any dataset of simulated crystal structures by a justified distance that shows which structures are geometric neighbors, i.e., close to each other according to this distance, and how such neighborhoods are located relatively to each other.…”

This paper develops a new continuous approach to a similarity between periodic lattices of ideal crystals. Quantifying a similarity between crystal structures is needed to substantially speed up the crystal structure prediction, because the prediction of many target properties of crystal structures is computationally slow and is essentially repeated for many nearly identical simulated structures. The proposed distances between arbitrary periodic lattices of crystal structures are invariant under all rigid motions, satisfy the metric axioms and continuity under atomic perturbations. The above properties make these distances ideal tools for clustering and visualizing large datasets of crystal structures. All the conclusions are rigorously proved and justified by experiments on real and simulated crystal structures.

Substituent Effects in the Crystal Packing of Derivatives of 4′-Phenyl-2,2′:6′,2″-Terpyridine

We report the preparation of a series of new 4′-substituted 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridines: 4′-(3,5-dimethylphenyl)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine (2), 4′-(3-fluoro-5-methylphenyl)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine (3), 4′-(3,5-difluorophenyl)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine (4), and 4′-(3,5- bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine (5). The compounds have been characterized by mass spectrometry, solid-state IR spectroscopy and solution NMR and absorption spectroscopies. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction structures of 3, 5 and 6·EtOH (6 = 4′-(3,5-bis(tert-butyl)phenyl)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine) have been elucidated. The molecular structures of the compounds are unexceptional. Since 3 and 5 crystallize without lattice solvent, we are able to understand the influence of introducing substituents in the 4′-phenyl ring and compare the packing in the structures with that of the previously reported 4′-phenyl-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine (1). On going from 1 to 3, face-to-face π-stacking of pairs of 3-fluoro-5-methylphenyl rings contributes to a change in packing from a herringbone assembly in 1 with no ring π-stacking to a layer-like packing. The latter arises through a combination of π-stacking of aromatic rings and N…H–C hydrogen bonding. On going from 3 to 5, N…H–C and F…H–C hydrogen-bonding is dominant, supplemented by π-stacking interactions between pairs of pyridine rings. A comparison of the packing of molecules of 6 with that in 1, 3 and 5 is difficult because of the incorporation of solvent in 6·EtOH.
