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.

N‐Heterocyclic Carbenes and Imidazole‐2‐thiones as Ligands for the Gold(I)‐Catalysed Hydroamination of Phenylacetylene

TL;DR: The gold complexes in the hydroamination of phenylacetylene with substituted anilines was tested and compared to control catalyst systems, and the best catalytic performance was obtained with [(C^Imine(tBu))AuCl], with the exclusive formation of the Markovnikov addition product in excellent yield regardless of the substituents on aniline.
