From first principles: In recent studies the lattice energy of crystalline benzene was predicted with sub-kilojoule per mole accuracy. Fundamental to this success was the combination of a fragment approach with state-of-the-art electronic structure methods.
Keywords: ab initio calculations; crystal growth; electronic structure; polymorphism; solid-state structures.
