Crystal Engineers are dedicated to controlling the way molecules aggregate in the crystalline phase and therefore are concerned with crystal structure prediction, polymorphism, and discovering the relative importance of different types of intermolecular forces and their influence on molecular structure. Crystal Engineers are exploiting the fruits of their labours by discovering new and important properties of their new materials. Organic Crystal Engineering provides reviews of topics in organic crystal engineering that will be of interest to all researchers in molecular solid-state chemistry. Specialist reviews written by internationally recognized researchers, drawn from both academia and industry, cover topics including crystal structure prediction features, polymorphism, reactions in the solid-state, designing new arrays and delineating prominent intermolecular forces for important organic molecules. Reviews include: Multi-component pharmaceutical crystal phases - engineering for performance Computational approaches to crystal structure prediction Supramolecular assembly with urea derivatives and stabilization of labile organic anions Hydrogen bonding and crystal packing in multi-functional molecules Complex formation of aromatic compounds with surfactants and application to form whitening reagents Host-Guest complexes through hydrogen bonds in organic and metal-organic hybrids Controlling the interplay of fullerenes Some dynamic aspects of molecules in inclusion crystals Guidelines for engineering molecular crystals Organic Crystal Engineering follows on from the successful Frontiers in Crystal Engineering (Wiley, 2005), providing a useful guide to this exciting new discipline for both entrants to the field as well as established practitioners, and for those working in crystallography, medicinal and pharmaceutical sciences, solid-state chemistry, and materials and nanotechnology.
