Differential evolution: crystal structure determination of a triclinic polymorph of adipamide from powder diffraction data

Chem Commun (Camb). 2002 Apr 21:(8):880-1. doi: 10.1039/b200436d.

Abstract

The crystal structure of a previously unknown triclinic polymorph of adipamide has been solved from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data using a new direct space global optimisation method based on differential evolution.
