Building Upon Supramolecular Synthons : Some Aspects of Crystal Engineering
(2018-04-24)Crystal engineering offers a rational way of analyzing crystal structures and designing new structures with properties. The supramolecular synthon concept was introduced in 1995 and has shown versatility and utility in the ... -
Crystal Engineering : From Molecule To Crystal Structure Landscape
(2017-08-21)Crystal engineering underlies the essence of natural affiliation between the molecule on the one side and the crystal as a supramolecular assembly on the other. Molecular recognition is the fundamental cause for this ... -
Probing Mechanical Properties Of Molecular Crystals with Nanoindentation : Applications to Crystal Engineering
(2018-06-05)Crystal engineering is widely applied in the design of new solids with desired physical and chemical properties based on an understanding of intermolecular interactions in terms of crystal packing. The understanding of ... -
Third Generation Crystal Engineering : Supramolecular Synthons, IR Spectroscopy and Property Design
(2018-07-19)Crystal engineering is defined as “the understanding of intermolecular interactions in the context of crystal packing and in the utilisation of such understanding in the design of new solids with desired physical and ... -
Tuning crystal structures with weak interactions: From solid solutions to stoichiometric cocrystals
This thesis shows that when two organic compounds A and B are cocrystallized and the A∙∙∙B interactions are neither completely isotropic nor anisotropic enough to cause the formation of a stoichiometric cocrystal AxBy, ...
