Packing and molecular shape: layers of centred hexagons as a guiding principle

N. Braun and G. Huttner

Abstract: A set of 112 993 structures was analysed for a specific type of packing: Molecular structures for which the centres of molecules form layers of centred hexagons exceed a percentage of 30%. This result has been obtained by a newly developed algorithm, allowing the extraction of these structures automatically and showing correlations between molecular shape and the type of packing.

Keywords: packing; molecular shape; layers; centred hexagons.
