Electron density distributions of three urea derivatives N-methylurea, N-phenylurea and N,N′-diphenylurea were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. High-resolution data were measured with synchrotron radiation. Data were subjected to a multipole refinement using the Hansen–Coppens multipole model, to Hirshfeld-atom refinement with and without a surrounding cluster of point charges/dipoles and to X-ray wavefunction refinement. Electron density distributions were evaluated in terms of deformation and residual electron density plots as well as bond critical points, atomic volumes and charges as defined in Bader's Theory of Atoms In Molecules. Given a sufficiently extended basis-set Hirshfeld-atom refinement yields results superior to multipole model refinements; best figures of merit were achieved by X-ray wavefunction refinement. Results indicate how conventional crystallographic studies can be systematically improved.

CrystEngComm is the forum for the design and understanding of crystalline materials. We welcome studies on the investigation of molecular behaviour within crystals, control of nucleation and crystal growth, engineering of crystal structures, and construction of crystalline materials with tuneable properties and functions. We publish hypothesis-driven research into… how crystal design affects thermodynamics, phase transitional behaviours, polymorphism, morphology control, solid state reactivity (crystal-crystal solution-crystal, and gas-crystal reactions), optoelectronics, ferroelectric materials, non-linear optics, molecular and bulk magnetism, conductivity and quantum computing, catalysis, absorption and desorption, and mechanical properties. Using Techniques and methods including… Single crystal and powder X-ray, electron, and neutron diffraction, solid-state spectroscopy, spectrometry, and microscopy, modelling and data mining, and empirical, semi-empirical and ab-initio theoretical evaluations. On crystalline and solid-state materials. We particularly welcome work on MOFs, coordination polymers, nanocrystals, host-guest and multi-component molecular materials. We also accept work on peptides and liquid crystals. All papers should involve the use or development of a design or optimisation strategy. Routine structural reports or crystal morphology descriptions, even when combined with an analysis of properties or potential applications, are generally considered to be outside the scope of the journal and are unlikely to be accepted.
