Table 2. Lattice energy and intermolecular interaction energies of selected molecular dimers (kJmol1) in rubrene obtained from the PIXEL calculations using the ED from the DFT method.
The values reported in the first and second lines correspond to the crystal geometry at 100K and 20K, respectively. Symmetry operations are listed in Table 1 ▸.
