title: A new era for ab initio molecular crystal lattice energy prediction.
abstract: From first principles: In recent studies the lattice energy of crystalline benzene was predicted with sub-kilojoule per mole accuracy. Fundamental to this success was the combination of a fragment approach with state-of-the-art electronic structure methods.
