abstract = {The thermal motion of atoms and functional groups is a key
characteristic of any molecular crystal, and such motion
derived from scattering experiments is conveniently
visualised by means of thermal ellipsoids (the famous
“ORTEP” drawings). Unfortunately, it is often impossible
to obtain the underlying anisotropic displacement parameters
(ADPs) for hydrogen atoms, due to their low X-ray scattering
power, and sometimes no ADPs can be refined at all even for
heavier atoms. In these cases, it would seem advantageous to
estimate ADPs by first-principles techniques, and indeed
such ab initio ORTEP plots have become available very
recently. Here, we test this young method for a
representative set of hydrogen-bonded molecular crystals:
first, we study urea (CON2H4) as a well-known benchmark,
then, its all-nitrogen analogue guanidine (CN3H5); finally,
we move on to rubidium guanidinate (RbCN3H4) as a specimen
with pronounced ionic interactions. For all three systems,
ADPs have been obtained from density-functional theory (DFT)
based phonon computations using the PHONOPY software. The
results are compared with neutron-diffraction data as the
experimental “benchmark” in this regard, and a critical
discussion of experimental aspects is given. We observe
excellent agreement between experiment and theory for the
hydrogen-bonded systems urea and guanidine at low
temperature, whereas high-temperature data for guanidine
deviate visibly, and the more salt-like RbCN3H4 may suffer
from a less-than-ideal description even at 12 K. Both is
discussed in depth as there are possible solutions and
directions for further research. Generally, the present
results shine a favourable light on a future, more routine
application of combined experimental/theoretical approaches
in chemical crystallography.},
