Collective Variables for Conformational Polymorphism in Molecular Crystals

Oren Elishav et al.

Summary: Controlling polymorphism in molecular crystals is challenging due to long time scales. We propose an efficient method for identifying collective variables that promote transitions between conformational polymorphs. Using this method in simulations, we observe transitions between all solid polymorphs of CL-20 and identify previously unknown intermediate forms.

Summary: Crystallization is an important process in material science, biology, and the environment. Experimental methods provide limited information about crystal formation, while computer simulations can provide microscopic details. Enhanced sampling simulations can overcome the limitations of traditional simulations. This review provides an overview of collective variables (CVs) that have been developed and used for studying crystallization, and discusses the challenges and future directions in developing effective CVs.
