Report on the sixth blind test of organic crystal-structure prediction methods

Yes / The sixth blind test of organic crystal-structure prediction (CSP) methods has been
held, with five target systems: a small nearly rigid molecule, a polymorphic former
drug candidate, a chloride salt hydrate, a co-crystal, and a bulky
exible molecule.
This blind test has seen substantial growth in the number of submissions, with the
broad range of prediction methods giving a unique insight into the state of the art
in the field. Significant progress has been seen in treating
flexible molecules, usage of hierarchical approaches to ranking structures, the application of density-functional approximations, and the establishment of new workflows and best practices for
performing CSP calculations. All of the targets, apart from a single potentially
disordered Z0 = 2 polymorph of the drug candidate, were predicted by at least
one submission. Despite many remaining challenges, it is clear that CSP methods
are becoming more applicable to a wider range of real systems, including salts,
hydrates and larger flexible molecules. The results also highlight the potential for
CSP calculations to complement and augment experimental studies of organic solid
forms. / EPSRC (grants EP/J01110X/1 and EP/K018132/1) and the European Research Council under the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP/2007-2013)/ERC through grant agreements n. 307358 (ERC-stG- 2012-ANGLE) and n. 321156 (ERC-AG-PE5-ROBOT).
