Use distance penalties/restraints such anti-bumping etc. and then minimize
on the restraints/penalties by refining the molecular coordinates you want
varied.

Subject: Unit cell accessible volume

 

Dear all,

 

I am trying to calculate the void volume in a unit cell. I can estimate the
overall void volume manually by subtracting  the occupied space volume from
the total unit cell volume using VESTA. I am, however, interested in finding
out whether inserting certain molecules in the voids (without distorting the
structure) is geometrically possible. Is there a way to do this given the
complexity of some structures/superstructures and the large number of ways a
molecule can intercalate into a structure ?

 

Kind Regards,
