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.

Mononuclear Titanium Complexes That Contain Aminopyridinato Ligands.

TL;DR: Variable-temperature NMR investigations of complex 2c are indicative of exchange processes which proceed most likely via tetrahedral transition states, and proved these compounds to be monomeric with a slightly distorted octahedral coordination geometry.

Synthesis of a new class of compounds containing a Ln-O-Al arrangement and their reactions and catalytic properties.

TL;DR: Synthesis of a new class of compounds containing a Ln-O-Al moiety has been accomplished by the reaction of LAlOH(Me) with a series of Cp(3)Ln compounds, and complexes 1, 3, 4, and 6 exhibit good catalytic activity for the polymerization of epsilon-caprolactone.

Photoisomerization of ammonium α,β-unsaturated carboxylates in the solid state: effect of the hydrogen-bond network on the reactivity

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed study concerning the crystal structures suggested that the characteristics of the hydrogen-bond network had a close correlation with the isomerizability, and both the bulkiness of the carboxylate and ammonium groups as well as their difference in molecular length were considered to be the most important factors influencing the isomersizability.
