contents Recent advances in quantum crystallography have shown that, beyond conventional charge density refinement, a one-electron reduced density matrix (1-RDM) satisfying N-representability conditions can be reconstructed using jointly experimental X-ray structure factors (XSF) and directional Compton profiles (DCP) through semi-definite programming. So far, such reconstruction methods for 1-RDM, not constrained to idempotency, had been tested only on a toy model system (CO$_2$). In this work, a new method is assessed on crystalline urea (CO(NH$_2$)$_2$) using static (0 K) and dynamic (50 K) artificial-experimental data. An improved model, including symmetry constraints and frozen-core electron contribution, is introduced to better handle the increasing system complexity. Reconstructed 1-RDMs, deformation densities and DCP anisotropy are analyzed, and it is demonstrated that the changes in the model significantly improve the reconstruction's quality against insufficient information and data corruption. The robustness of the model and the strategy are thus shown to be well-adapted to address the reconstruction problem from actual experimental scattering data.
