In our previous paper on prediction of crystal structures of two monosaccharides we pointed to a contrast between rather unrealistic potential energy values paired with acceptable Rwp factors. By comparing the energy values E(potential) to E(HFSCF) and by the refinements combining trial structures and |F0| from a single crystal it was found that Rwp could be a misleading indicator in structure prediction based on powder data.
