Talk:Crystal structure prediction

"Are crystal structures predictable?: No."
That's the opening of a memorable article by Gavezzotii (1994) in Accounts of Chemical Research. Of course, some progress has been made since then, but still I think it would be a good reference to cite. :) --Itub (talk) 02:49, 5 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Nice line. This article is based on a literature report I wrote for my degree - it's got loads more references in, including that one.


 * If anyone wants to add a little, the report is on my website: http://www.benjamin-mills.com/bristol/CSP.pdf

This article is oddly centric and misinformed. First of all, contrary to what many organic chemists like to think (including the one that wrote this article), the physics and history of this field has only very recently had much of anything to do with modeling organic crystals. It's foundations and depth are foremost in the realm of metallurgists, solid state physicists, and the material scientists and engineers who grew and grow inorganic crystals (not the recent work in proteins).

Second of all, Linus Pauling is a peripheral, minor contributor to this field - not remotely the founder or father of it, contrary to what is indicated in this article.Wikibearwithme (talk) 04:22, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Looks like vandalism
Single-purpose user Hedaors (whose only WP contributions are to insert references to CALYPSO method) keeps adding references to CALYPSO. This looks not only like self-promotion, but also like vandalism. Last time this user inserted a CALYPSO reference for molecular mechanics, which is inappropriate. Parts of text related to other methods were distorted to be another CALYPSO reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:660:4401:6002:226:55FF:FEE8:8E02 (talk) 18:56, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
