“…33 One may go so far as to say that SDPD has lived up to its ''routine'' designation, 12,25 but the technique does have limitations and determinations may fail, typically when the data cannot be indexed or when the starting molecular model is deficient in some respect. It is also significant that the upper limit of effectiveness of the SA algorithm has yet to be established, although a previous investigation 33 demonstrated that, given XRPD data collected to 2 Å resolution or better: (a) structures with <15 DOF present little challenge, yielding accurate structure solutions reproducibly; (b) for structures with greater complexity (DOF ¼ 15-20), where the preponderance of local minima in the agreement hypersurface reduces the frequency of success, the SA algorithm is still able to locate the global minimum with a reasonable frequency. Higher levels of complexity (DOF > 20) remain to be explored systematically; hence g-CBZ and CT-DMF2 represent significant contributions to this wider effort (Tab.…”
