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.

Synthesis, structures, magnetism and electrochemical properties of triruthenium–acetylide complexes

TL;DR: Compounds 2-6 display three triruthenium-based reversible one-electron redox couples, two oxidations and one reduction, and the electrode potentials shift upon varying the substituents, and a linear relationship is observed when the Hammett constants are plotted against the redox potentials.

Detection of explosives via photolytic cleavage of nitroesters and nitramines.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of 9,9-disubstituted 9,10-dihydroacridines (DHAs) are synthesized from either Nphenylanthranilic acid methyl ester or a diphenylamine derivative and are similarly shown to be rapidly nitrated by the photofragmentation products of RDX and PETN.
