TLDR
In this article, a phase annealing method, related to the simulated-annealing approach in other optimization problems, is proposed and it is shown that it can result in an improvement of up to an order of magnitude in the chances of solving large structures at atomic resolution.
Abstract
A number of extensions to the multisolution approach to the crystallographic phase problem are discussed in which the negative quartet relations play an important role. A phase annealing method, related to the simulated annealing approach in other optimization problems, is proposed and it is shown that it can result in an improvement of up to an order of magnitude in the chances of solving large structures at atomic resolution. The ideas presented here are incorporated in the program system SHELX-90; the philosophical and mathematical background to the direct-methods part (SHELXS) of this system is described.

Complete relative stereochemistry of multiple stereocenters using only residual dipolar couplings.

TL;DR: Residual dipolar couplings (RDCs), in combination with molecular order matrix calculations, were used to unambiguously determine the complete relative stereochemistry of an organic compound with five stereocenters, and it was shown that (13)C-H and (1)H-(1) H RDCs, which are the easiest to measure, are the most important and information-rich data for the order matrix calculation.

Complex Crystal Structure of Cesium-III

TL;DR: The structure of Cs-III, stable between 4.2 and 4.3 GPa at room temperature, has been determined from single-crystal x-ray diffraction data and is a complex new type of elemental structure which is orthorhombic (space group C222(1)) with 84 atoms in the unit cell.
