(a) Lattice energy landscape
for pyrogallol anhydrate (Elatt = Uinter +
ΔEintra, PCM). Each symbol denotes
a crystal structure, which is a lattice energy minimum classified
by the most extensive common-packing motif based on the hydrogen bonding
shown in (b). (c) Relative lattice energies of the most stable computationally
generated pyrogallol structures calculated using different methods:
PCM, isolated molecule relaxed structures with average polarization
from the PCM model as in (a), DFT-D, periodic density functional theory
relaxations with dispersion correction, and PIXEL calculations using
either the PCM or DFT-D optimized structure. Tie lines have been added
to show the changes in relative ordering. The numbers labeling the
symbols in (a) identify the crystal structures by stability order
using the PCM model (Table S9a of the Supporting
Information). Only selected symmetry operations are drawn in
(b).
