Ab initio structure determination and refinement from electron diffraction data is not a widely used technique in structural science because of the inaccuracies inherent in the process of intensity measurement and because the relative sparseness of the data sets collected makes the structures hard to solve; there are also problems of verifying the correctness of the results. In this paper, the techniques of model building from electron diffraction data were employed to solve the structure. In addition, an ab initio solution of the structure of [9,9′-bianthryl]-10-carbonitrile is presented using a routine application of the maximum-entropy method combined with likelihood evaluation employing 150 unique diffraction intensities. The structure thus determined was obtained independently of the model-building studies. The agreement between the two methods is excellent and both agree with a single-crystal X-ray study on the same material. In addition, the high-resolution images agree with the images calculated from the model and with the potential maps after correction for the transfer function and dynamic scattering.
