Fine tuning of crystal architecture by intermolecular interactions: synthon engineering

Petra Bombicz, Tobias Gruber, Conrad Fischer, Edwin Weber, Alajos Kálmán CrystEngComm, 16 (18), 3646 – 3654, 2014 Abstract There has been a long time effort to influence or favourably fine tune structural properties by introduction of substituents or guest molecules of different sizes, shapes and chemical composition to consequently alter physico-chemical properties of the respective crystals. These attempts require the recognition, understanding and application of intermolecular interactions, crystallographic and, in case of occurrence, non-crystallographic symmetries. It brings us to the Read More …
