Within the field of batteries, redox-active organic materials (ROMs) such as quinones have received increased attention as promising electrode materials for rechargeable batteries. However, experimental determination of the crystal structure of intermediate species formed during the discharge\/charge cycle can often be challenging. Incomplete X-ray diffraction patterns can also lead to difficulties in crystal structure determination for ROMs used in batteries. Use of a semiempirical electronic structure method for CSP helps to avoid force field reparameterization for different species, sometimes with complex electronic structure, formed during battery operation. It also helps to significantly lower the computational cost compared to the widely used density functional theory (DFT). In this study, we report the success of a CSP algorithm based on a combination of the particle swarm optimization method, as implemented in the CALYPSO software, with third-order density functional tight-binding, a DFT-based semiempirical method. Accompanied by data postprocessing using DFT, this method enables the correct identification of the most stable crystal structures of organic molecules with different kinds of intermolecular interactions ranging from hydrogen bonding to \u03c0-stacking. We also report the experimental crystal structure of pyrene-4,5,9,10-tetrone, a molecule studied intensively for application in organic batteries, and predict its crystal structure correctly using our method. Our findings emphasize the potential of this approach for CSP of different classes of organic molecules, including quinones. Additionally, they establish the foundation for future CSP studies of other organic molecules utilized in rechargeable batteries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1021\/acsphyschemau.6c00036","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,20]],"date-time":"2026-06-20T13:55:18Z","timestamp":1781963718000},"page":"1050-1061","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Efficient\nOrganic Molecular Crystal Structure Prediction\nUsing the Density Functional Tight-Binding Method"],"prefix":"10.1021","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Maureen M.","family":"Kitheka","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State University of New York at Binghamton , , , ,","place":["Binghamton, New York, United States, 13902"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5669-4609","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Yan","family":"Jing","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Houston , , , ,","place":["Houston, Texas, United States, 77204"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8785-5030","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Yan","family":"Yao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Houston , , , ,","place":["Houston, Texas, United States, 77204"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5812-0481","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Puja","family":"Goyal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State University of New York at Binghamton , , , ,","place":["Binghamton, New York, United States, 13902"]},{"name":"Illinois State University , , , ,","place":["Normal, Illinois, United States, 61761"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"316","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026092310071288400_cit1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"593","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev-chembioeng-060718-030256","article-title":"Crystal\nStructure Prediction Methods for Organic Molecules: State of the Art","volume":"12","author":"Bowskill","year":"2021","journal-title":"Annu.
