How calculate the packing efficency for a coordination polymer from the CIF file?

I am unsure how to automatically calculate packing efficiency using crystallography software. Has anyone had experience with this?

Dear Maryam.

A similar question has already been answered on Researchgate. Here is the link:

https://www.researchgate.net/post/Can_any_one_help_me_to_calculate_packing_coefficient_from_crystal_structure_or_from_cif_file

You can open the cif file with Platon software (https://www.chem.gla.ac.uk/~louis/software/platon/).

Then run the command mode.

platon -o crystal.cif

Enter CALC VOID PROBE 1.2 GRID 0.2

Best regards
