Description:Seminar Abstract:\n\nRelative to the number of metal carbodiimi
 des reported in literature\, very few are known to\ndemonstrate polymorphi
 sm. This relatively underexplored aspect of metal carbodiimide\nsynthesis 
 is\, in part\, limited due to lack of a predictive model to determine whic
 h crystal\nsystems may exhibit polymorphism. Measuring theoretical structu
 ral complexity can be\naccomplished by hand or by open-source programs to 
 ascertain the relative complexity of\nknown crystal systems to investigate
  entropic trends and locate theoretical polymorphs\nthat may have been ove
 rlooked. This methodology was utilized by Juan Medina-Jurado et\nal. to pr
 edict a new polymorph of Y2(NCN)3 as well as a new polymorph of Li2Sn(NCN)
 3\,\nboth of which they successfully synthesized. These findings show that
  it may be possible to\nquantitatively predict and synthesize new polymorp
 hs in previously studied crystal\nsystems. 4:00 pm
