Using a new modified genetic algorithm (MGAC) and knowing the geometry of the individual molecules and an empirical intermolecular potential, it is possible to predict the crystal structures of benzene, naphthalene and anthracene. The success of the method can be attributed to the use of a good genetic representation to construct the crystal structures and the very good performance of the genetic algorithm to locate global minima in complex configuration spaces.
