Supramolecular Interactions in the Solid State

Giuseppe Resnati, Elena Boldyreva, Petra Bombicz, Masaki Kawano IUCrJ, 2, 675-690 (2015) Abstract In the last few decades, supramolecular chemistry has been at the forefront of chemical research, with the aim of understanding chemistry beyond the covalent bond. Since the long-range periodicity in crystals is a product of the directionally specific short-range intermolecular interactions that are responsible for molecular assembly, analysis of crystalline solids provides a primary means to investigate intermolecular interactions and recognition phenomena. This article discusses some areas Read More …
