Abstract

Molecular mechanics calculations on crystals have been performed by using a simplex optimization and a simulated annealing procedure. Empirical Coulomb-Lennard-Jones potentials with an additional set of 10–12 potentials to describe hydrogen bond interactions were used to model crystals (i) with periodic boundary conditions including the interactions of 27 unit cells and (ii) including 729 unit cells (called extended neighbor model). The restrictions imposed by the respective space group were taken into account. As test examples formamide, [1S-(1α,2β,4β)]-4-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-2-hydroxycyclopentanecarboxamide, [1S-(1α,2α,4β)]-4-(1,l-dimethylethyl)-2-hydroxy-cyclopentanecarboxylic acid, and [1S-(1α,2α,5β)]-5-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-2-hydroxy-cyclopentanecarboxylic acid were used. Theoretically predicted structures are found to be in excellent agreement with the experimental structures, if extended neighbor interactions are taken into account.
