13th Crystal Forms Convention
A Global Forum for Innovation in Crystal Forms
7–9 September Bologna (IT)
The Crystal Forms Convention will create a platform for open dialogue between academia and industry, addressing the daily challenges posed by the theme “Crystal Forms.”
The event also serves as a valuable networking opportunity for early-career researchers, offering the chance to connect with senior scientists from both academic and industrial backgrounds, and to promote new collaborations.
The organizers expect speakers from 20 universities and research institutions worldwide, along with representatives from 21 companies.
The 13th edition of the Bologna Convention on Crystal Forms is organized by the Molecular Crystal Engineering (MCE) group of the Chemistry Department at the University of Bologna.
CCDC Talk
Computational Approaches for the Prediction of Particle Properties of Organic Molecular Materials
Date/Time: 9th September, 14:30 (local time)
Speaker: Pietro Sacchi, Research and Applications Scientist, Materials Science Team
Abstract: Since 1965, the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) has been used by scientists around the world to explore the link between the structure of crystalline materials and their properties.
Building on the wealth of data in this collection of nearly 1.4 million structures, Solid Form and Particle Informatics methods have been developed with partners across academia and the formulated products industries.
These data-centric approaches are routinely used to assess the risk of polymorphism, predict the shapes of crystalline particles, and identify links between bulk structure and surface properties.
This talk will explore our recent advances in the calculation and description of digital particles, with a few examples of how calculated particle properties can assist the development of solid form and crystallization research, with particular focus on solid form selection.
