Missed stable form

However, while QTAM-based approaches (3.5) and (3.6) allow H-bonding strength ranking in molecular crystals, they require actual H-bonding geometry information to perform the predictions. Therefore, the drawback of these desalptor-based methods is that they cannot be directly used for the assessment of the likelihood of an unknown missed stable form. 

The missing row reconstruction may be induced in ordinarily unreconstructed fee metals by driving electrons into the surface region, either electrochemically or by alkali-metal adsorption. For example, a (1x2) missing row reconstruction of Cu(110) and Pd(110) may be created by K and Cs adsorption (Barnes et al., 1985 Hu et al., 1990). The structural parameters of these surfaces are included in table 2 and show the smaller normal relaxations that are qualitatively similar to the stable missing-row forms of Ir(110). 

This chapter reviewed only H-bond propensity analysis approaches to complement polymorph screening by facilitating the risk assessment of a missed more stable form. A focus was given to different theoretical approaches of H-bonding ranking, which were developed to accurately reproduce experimental observations as well as high-level theoretical calculations. Successful applications of COSMO-RS and QTAIM-based methods to support the pharmaceutical solid form selection were demonstrated. 

Figure 12.10 A model of the Pt(110) surface, which is the stable form at high CO coverage, and the reconstructed surface. Note the missing row in the 110 surface and the steps on the reconstructed surface sqj is the sticking coefficient of molecular oxygen and it is higher for the unreconstructed (i.e., CO covered) surface [adapted from Imbihl and ErtI (1995)].

All six possible diatomic compounds between F, Cl, Br and I are known. Indeed, ICl was first made (independently) by J. L. Gay Lussac and H. Davy in 1813-4 soon after the isolation of the parent halogens themselves, and its existence led J. von Liebig to miss the discovery of the new element bromine, which has similar properties (p. 794). The compounds vary considerably in thermal stability CIF is extremely robust ICl and IBr are moderately stable and can be obtained in very pure crystalline form at room temperature BrCl readily dissociates reversibly into its... 

In soft ionization methods the excess energy deposited onto the ionized molecule is very small and stable even-electron ions are formed. This leads to easy determination of the molecular weight of the analyte, but as fragmentation is absent or it occurs to a very low extent, structural information is missing in the mass spectrum. However, one can obtain structural information by causing ion fragmentation out of the source by means of tandem mass spectrometry experiments (see below).
