Abstract
An overview of recent work directed to the crystallographic structure solution of organic solids using a combination of X-ray powder diffraction and a grid-based direct space search for trial structures is presented. A number of study cases illustrate the application and potential of this approach. Additionally, the inherent limitations of powder diffraction as an isolated tool for structure determination are discussed together with an outline of ways to address these limitations in the future.
