Crystal engineering - where the myriad of intermolecular forcesoperating in the solid-state are employed to design new nano- andfunctional materials - is a key new technology with implicationsfor catalysis, pharmaceuticals, synthesis and materialsscience.
Frontiers in Crystal Engineering gathers personal perspectives,from international specialists working in molecular aspects ofcrystal engineering, on the practical and theoretical challenges ofthe discipline, and future prospects. These demonstrate theapproaches that are being used to tackle the problems associatedwith the complexity, design and functionality of crystallinemolecular solids.
Topics include
* how intermolecular forces direct and sustain crystalstructures
* functional engineering and design elements
* coordination polymers and network structures
* applications in green and pharmaceutical chemistry
Frontiers in Crystal Engineering is a useful guide to this excitingnew discipline for both entrants to the field as well asestablished practitioners, and for those working incrystallography, medicinal and pharmaceutical sciences, solid-statechemistry, and materials and nanotechnology.
