Abstract

New approaches have been introduced in the EXPO2007 program aiming at making easier and
straightforward the ab initio crystal structure solution from powder diffraction data. Improvements
in space group determination, powder pattern decomposition, least squares Fourier recycling,
interpretation of the electron density map have been developed. To manage organic crystal
structures a new strategy in direct-space, combining Direct Methods and Simulated Annealing
approaches, has been implemented.
